land plots

Surveyed earth sections

Land plots are measured sections of ground, typically surveyed and recorded for purposes of ownership, sale, or development.

A plot may be a building site, a portion of a cemetery, or an agricultural parcel.

Real estate listings advertise plots by acreage or square footage: They bought a half-acre plot outside town.

The term emphasizes boundaries and legal designation rather than what grows or stands on the land.
