    Comprehensive Explanation of the Arpent as a Unit of Measurement

    Definition of the Arpent

    Arpent Historical

    The arpent has evolved from the Roman actus, a measure of land that could be cultivated in a day with the help of a pair of oxen. In medieval France, the word "arpent" was transformational and became the measuring instrument of land division in France.
    What stands out as pretty special about this arpent system is the impact it exercised over land traditions. The areas where it was used, for instance in the Mississippi River Valley, resulted in long and narrow land parcels, with narrow facing the rivers. Positioning was excellent for both irrigation for farming and movement of canoe/craft either upwards or downwards along this water body.

    Comprehensive Explanation of the Section as a Unit of Measurement

    Definition of Section

    A section is a part of the United States PLSS that measures the extent of land as a division and sub-division. One section is a square area with an area of 1 mile at each side, or 640 acres or 2.58999 square kilometers. The use of sections is very helpful in the division as well as the description of land especially in country and agricultural property.

    Historical of Section

    Originally, the section developed originated from the Land Ordinance of 1785 that provided for the creation of the public land survey system (PLSS) with the purpose of providing for surveys of the land in the United States, especially in the western areas. The system distributed land into townships and sections and fractions of such sections. A township is a six-by-six-mile square that is made up of 36 sections.
    Further, the constantly changing geographical boundaries meant that a standardized system of conveying and dealing in land was possible only if it was clearly defined.
