I'm looking for the historical high lake level data... I found a chart that has the highest level since 1982.

I'm wondering if older data is available?
I'm buying a place on Big Barndoor that the bank claims is in the flood zone (but I'm hearing everything on the lake shore is declared a flood zone these days).
Good news is the place doesn't have a zillion steps to the cottage... Bad news is maybe it really could flood... Looks like the highest lake level from 1982 - 2012 was just about 506.
I'm bringing a surveyor out to see what the actual level of the house/septic system etc are. Does anyone on Big Barndoor have any memory of high water issues?
I believe you can get a flood insurance waiver if the lowest part of your house is above 506.2. I find that very surprising if the lake has actually achieved 506 in the past 30 years.
