Arpent

An arpent is a traditional unit of length and area used primarily in French-speaking regions, especially in parts of Canada (like Quebec) and Louisiana in the United States. It originated in France and was commonly used in land measurement and agriculture.

As a length, one arpent is approximately 192 feet (about 58.47 meters), though it varies regionally.
As an area, an arpent is roughly equal to 0.84 acres or about 3,400 square meters.

The arpent was important for defining land parcels during French colonial times and is still referenced in legal land descriptions in some areas today.

Summary:

Length: ~192 feet (58.47 meters)
Area: ~0.84 acres (3,400 m²)
Used historically in French-influenced regions for land measurement
Still appears in land records and legal contexts in parts of North America

Rod (US Survey)

The US survey rod is a unit of length used in U.S. land surveying. It is defined as exactly 16.5 US survey feet, which is slightly longer than the international foot. Since one US survey foot equals approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey rod measures about 5.0292 meters.

The survey rod, also called a pole or perch, is historically significant in the U.S. Public Land Survey System and is used to measure land boundaries and distances.

Key facts:

1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet
1 US survey rod ≈ 5.0292 meters
4 US survey rods = 1 US survey chain
40 US survey rods = 1 US survey furlong

Though the US survey foot and related units are being phased out in favor of international units, the US survey rod still appears in legal land descriptions and older surveying documents.
