Arpent


An arpent is a traditional French unit of land area and length, still used in some regions like Louisiana and parts of Canada.



  • As an area, 1 arpent ≈ 0.85 acres ≈ 3,420 square meters.



  • As a length, 1 arpent ≈ 192 feet (about 58.47 meters).



Arpents were commonly used in colonial land surveying and property descriptions, especially in French-influenced areas.


Square Rod (US Survey)


A square rod (US survey) is a unit of area based on the US survey foot and rod, used primarily in land surveying in the United States.



  • 1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet (exactly 16.5 feet)



  • 1 square rod (US survey) = 16.5 ft × 16.5 ft = 272.25 square feet ≈ 25.2929 m²



The US survey square rod is slightly different in exact length than the international measurement due to the foot definition but is essentially used the same way for land measurement.
