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.



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.
