[surveying]
In surveying, a high-level organization of parcels; a survey document containing data from a recorded subdivision survey plan, or from a legal description. Often, many parcels are defined in one plan. In the Survey Analyst - Cadastral Editor cadastral fabric, plans hold such information about the subdivision plan record as the date, surveyor, entry units, scale factor, and so on. Each parcel contains a reference to a plan.
