Opening the official parcel viewer

Reading terrain
On the aerial around Idahome, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Albion sit with the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder). Long-held tracts around Almo may sit on several deeds, and a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Cassia County meets Blaine County, Jerome County, Minidoka County, Oneida County, and Power County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Albion may be split across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. Closer to Jackson, our state page lists each bordering county map for Idaho.
