When a listing near Redding mentions a lot number, look up the Anderson plat map it refers to. This Anderson guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.

For a subdivision near Redding, the deed usually cites the plat; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Lots and tracts near Shasta Lake are published on the Shasta County ArcGIS parcel map, free to use and open without a login. On ground around Redding, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If you're looking near Redding, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Anderson and the county around it
Anderson lies within Shasta County, California, which means parcel data comes from the county. For property near Redding, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits out by Redding usually falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Sections, lots and bearings
California follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Redding reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Redding can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Shasta Lake when you talk to a surveyor.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Redding, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Redding and its lines keeps working without signal.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Redding that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Shasta Lake.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Shasta Lake, so check for later filings; street vacations near Redding show up in the records too.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Shasta Lake. If you're looking near Shasta Lake, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Land on the county line
Shasta County touches Lassen County, Modoc County, Plumas County, Siskiyou County, and Tehama County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Redding can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. Around Redding, our state page lists every bordering county map for California.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the Shasta County ArcGIS parcel map is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.

Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Redding as much as anywhere. Inherited tracts around Redding can sit on several deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
