plats

Subdivision survey drawings

Plats is the plural of plat, a word with two distinct meanings.

A plat is a small plot of land, or a map showing how a piece of land is divided into lots: The developer filed plats for the new subdivision.

Separately, a plat is a braid or plait, though this sense is now rare: She wore her hair in plats.
