Homestead


A homestead traditionally refers to a parcel of land granted or owned, often for farming or settlement purposes. In the U.S. context, under laws like the Homestead Act, a typical homestead was:



  • 160 acres (about 65 hectares) of public land granted to settlers.



  • Used to encourage settlement and cultivation.



Today, the term can also mean a familyโ€™s residence and surrounding land, especially a farm or ranch.


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 ร— 16.5 ft = 272.25 square feet โ‰ˆ 25.2929 mยฒ



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.
