It's not as accurate as a plat, but if I also have some exact field measurements of key areas, it's close enough for a planting plan.
If you're doing hardscapes or carpentry stuff and you can't get a plat, you need to suck it up and do a really thorough job measuring. It's a hassle, but it beats screwing up an estimate.
