Checking easements on a house in Chubbuck? What you want is the Chubbuck plat map, because the recorded plat shows how the land was divided. In this Chubbuck guide: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Chubbuck plat map
Subdivision plats are recorded with the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), with a book and page or instrument number.
The viewer Bannock County publishes
Go first to the Bannock County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel from Inkom to Lava Hot Springs. Out toward Arimo, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. On ground around Lava Hot Springs, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Next door to Bannock County
Bannock County meets Bingham County, Caribou County, Franklin County, Oneida County, and Power County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Lava Hot Springs may show up in two county records, so open the adjacent map as well. Our state page links each bordering county map for Idaho.
Chubbuck, ID: the basics
The town is part of Bannock County, Idaho, which means parcel data comes from the county, especially near Inkom. Closer to Lava Hot Springs, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits toward McCammon generally answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Two different maps
The tax map on the Bannock County ArcGIS parcel map is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Lots, blocks and easements
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Chubbuck stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a tree line near Arimo may sit a few yards off the line on screen. If the land is near Inkom, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near McCammon that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
When a plat changes
Lots near Arimo can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Pocatello are filed with the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder). Long-held tracts around Lava Hot Springs may sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
A quick look at the area
Pocatello is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Inkom, Arimo, and Downey. Roughly 90,400 people call Bannock County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 1,112 square miles. Bannock County dates to 1893, and some chains of title near Inkom are long. Features like Portneuf River, Snake River, and Caribou National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out from Downey.
How land is described here
Idaho uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around McCammon reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Pocatello vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Pocatello for any title or survey request.
Who handles what
Recorded documents for a parcel near Downey sit in the index kept by the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Downey need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Ordering the Chubbuck plat map
The County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder) may have searchable images, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Downey, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near McCammon with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.

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.
