Plats
A particular type of map showing actual or planned divisions of the land surfaceinto streets and building lots.
Shows the division of the land and features of the surface relevant to any use of the land – existing rights – pipeline easement, drainage easement – and the topography – hills, wetlands
The first plats showed how deputy surveyors employed by the federal government subdivided the surface into townships and sections

County Surveyors in Minnesota
“in restoring lost or obliterated government corners, the county surveyor shall follow the rules established by or pursuant to acts of Congress, and all such surveys shall be made in strict conformity to the original survey made by the United States” 389.04
“county boards shall procure and file with the county recorders of their respective counties certified copies of the original plats and field notes of the United States surveys” 389.05
“When the county board determines that the monuments established by the United States in the public lands survey to mark section, quarter section, and meander corners have been destroyed or are becoming obscure, it may employ a licensed surveyor to preserve, restore and mark the corners with a durable magnetic monument” 381.12
Later plats showed how counties allow this basic division to be further subdivided into blocks with streets, sidewalks, alleys and lots
In order for plats to become valid, a local governing body - in Minnesota a county surveyor - must review and approve them

Auditor’s Plat
Not formal subdivision In order to more easily identify existing parcels of real estate, Minnesota County
Auditors sometimes employ a surveyor to draw a map of those existing parcels and give them a lot number designation simply for ease of reference in accounting for real estate taxes
Those shorthand lot numbers are often used later by property owners to describe their property
In spite of the fact that these plats are not formal, legal subdivisions, these maps are a source of information for determining lot sizes, location and dimensions of the real estate contained in them
They also make it much easier to describe a parcel than is the case when relying on the longer, metes and bounds, description from which the lots or parcels contained in the Auditor's Plat originally came
