Looking for a Oneida County plat book? A plat book shows owners and tract lines on township pages, useful for farms near Malad City. Covered here for this county: what's in a plat book, where to find editions, and how the county viewer fills the gaps around Curlew National Grassland.
Getting started with the Oneida County plat book
For property near Holbrook, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, often organized by township.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Oneida County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Caribou National Forest included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and select the outline, and that holds around Sawtooth National Forest too. For acreage around Pleasantview, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county asks for it first.
Reading the legal description
Idaho uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Malad City is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Pleasantview odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Stone before you request a deed or survey.
Backing up the map with records
When the details count, pull the recorded deed from the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder); the parcel map near Sawtooth National Forest only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near Cherry Creek can sit on several deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Land on the county line
The county borders Bannock County, Cassia County, Franklin County, Power County, and Box Elder County, UT, all with their own assessor records, especially near Stone. Acreage along the edge near Pleasantview can be split in two county records, so open the adjacent map too. Around Caribou National Forest, the Platbookmapper state page links every bordering county map across Idaho.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Editions come and go depending on publishers, check with local offices and farm stores near Curlew National Grassland.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Holbrook, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Caribou National Forest with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Samaria sit in the index kept by the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Samaria go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Current ownership online
For current names, use the Oneida County ArcGIS parcel map, including rural land around Caribou National Forest.
Limits of the parcel data
If you're looking near Curlew National Grassland, the acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. With a lot near Holbrook, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Printing your own
Print parcel views near Cherry Creek township by township and keep them in a binder for the truck.
Who uses plat books
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Stone use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Atlas or legal document
A plat book is not a recorded plat: recorded plats near Stone are filed with the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), and the atlas is just a guide.
A quick look at the area
Malad City holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Cherry Creek, Holbrook, Pleasantview, and Samaria, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 4,953 people live in Oneida County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 1,199 square miles. Oneida County was organized in 1864, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like Curlew National Grassland make handy reference points on the map.

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.
