Flood Zone Map Confusion

I redrew the property lines because it wasn't showing up too well.

Ok, how is this "Minimal" chance of water on the property? It looks like water has a chance of covering over 50% of the property! Is this what's under the property, but it has a "minimal" chance of surfacing or is this what has flooded before, but now only has a "minimal" chance of happening again?

Can anybody explain this to me? Or send me to a website where I can look it up with CLEAR instructions on what everything on the map means? I have been to the FEMA one before, but I gave up trying to read those. Plus, not all raw land properties are on there. Sometimes, it would tell me that the map is unavailable or hasn't been updated in that area. How am I supposed to do my due diligence? Also, if it makes a difference, I am looking for property in another state and I can't go to a county office and look it up.

THANK YOU FOR ALL HELP!! I seriously appreciate any advice or clarification.
