There's three sets of flood zones north of Rt 22 in Mountainside, two of them associated with obvious creeks. The other one is associated with another feeder for the Nomahegan, marked "Branch 3" on the flood maps; it's probably been buried, though some of the bed still shows up in topographical maps.
You can see it in this old map, between the "r" and the "o" in "Locust Grove"

The FEMA maps note the floodway is very narrow; it's possible the house itself isn't in the zone even if part of the property is.
