Colusa and the county around it
Colusa sits in Colusa County, California, which means parcel data comes from the county. Colusa is also the county seat, which puts the County Recorder close by. On ground around Grimes, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits toward Williams usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Arbuckle, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Williams is a good backup.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on land around Arbuckle. For a home near Grimes, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Legal descriptions in California

What the owner name means
