Dear chanse219-ga,
Platt maps are also spelt Plat maps. They are maps of plots of land.
Here are some definitions:
"plat (pl?t) pronunciation
n.
1. A piece of land; a plot.
2. A map showing actual or planned features, such as streets and building lots."
"plat
A contemporary plat map showing the location of a property for sale.
A plat is a map, drawn to scale, showing how a piece of land is
divided into lots with streets and alleys, usually for the purpose of
selling the described lots; this is known as subdivision. After a plat
is filed, legal descriptions can refer to lot numbers rather than
portions of sections. Plats can also legally dedicate land for road
and other rights-of-way."
