Opening the Huntington GIS map
For property near Milton, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Your first stop is the Cabell County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each tax parcel in the county, Milton included. Out toward Milton, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Barboursville, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Neighboring parcel maps
Cabell County meets Gallia County, OH, Lawrence County, OH, Lincoln County, Mason County, and Putnam County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Barboursville that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. The Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for West Virginia.
Where Huntington fits in
The city is part of Cabell County, West Virginia, so its parcels are on the county's map, especially near Milton. As the county seat, Huntington hosts the courthouse, which puts the County Clerk close by. Local government in Huntington handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the city limits out by Milton usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Finding the right lot
By address works best for lots near Barboursville; owner names are usually entered last name first. For a parcel near Milton, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
Getting answers from the right desk

Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Milton too. If you're looking near Milton, have ready the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Milton. For acreage around Milton, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Owner, value and acreage
