For any lot around Oakley, a look at the Burley GIS map gives you parcel boundaries plus basic tax data. This Burley guide covers: which viewer to open, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Where the Burley GIS map lives
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Burley the go-to is the Cassia County ArcGIS parcel map.
The viewer Cassia County publishes
Begin with the Cassia County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each tax parcel in the county, Malta included. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near Oakley as much as anywhere. For property near Albion, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county will want it.
City limits and county records
Burley is part of Cassia County, Idaho, so its parcels are on the county's map. Burley is also the county seat, which puts the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder) close by. For a home near Malta, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the city limits toward Albion usually answers to county rules instead.
Saving what you find
Print or screenshot the parcel near Declo with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Malta come from the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Malta are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Search tips
Vacant ground near Malta may lack an address, so pan the aerial and click the lot. For land near Declo, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners for a parcel near Declo. If you're looking near Declo, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Aerials, labels and overlays
Out toward Oakley, layer lists often include municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; availability varies.
A quick look at the area
Burley holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Declo, Albion, Malta, and Oakley, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 25,696 people live in Cassia County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 2,566 square miles. Cassia County was organized in 1879, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like Snake River and Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge are easy to spot when you zoom out from Albion.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Declo are filed with the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder). Inherited tracts near Declo can sit on a long string of deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Reading the legal description
Idaho uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Declo is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Declo vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Malta when you talk to a surveyor.
Inside the parcel card
Recent sales on nearby lots near Declo are a useful starting point; they're not an appraisal.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
