land division
Surveyed territory segment
Land division is the process of splitting a parcel of land into smaller lots, typically for sale or development.
The term also refers to the resulting parcels themselves.
In some regions, a land division is an administrative unit—a governmental subdivision for managing territory.
The county approved the land division last month.
