A published satellite extent records an observed event footprint. An overlap is evidence for that observation; no overlap cannot establish that a location has never flooded. The MapScale archive is historical and fixed, not a forecast.
| Input or condition | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Overlap | Observed footprint intersects the location for a named event. |
| No overlap | No matching extent in the returned archive; not a dry-history certificate. |
| Truncated response | Continue the returned cursor before treating the request as complete. |
Code illustrates a review procedure, not an observed result. Replace illustrative inputs with verified records; missing values deliberately remain unknown.
