The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

A map of a piece of land, on which are marked the courses and distances of the different lines, and the quantity of land it contains. Such a plat may be given in evidence in ascertaining the position of the land and what is included, and may serve to settle the figure of a survey and correct mistakes.
