Explanation

A recorded subdivision plat in Montana is a surveyed map that establishes the legal framework for the subdivision: lot numbers, block numbers, street dedications, easements, open space, and dimension information. Lot descriptions in recorded plats ('Lot 1, Block 2, XYZ Subdivision') become the legal description for individual lots.
