    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.

    Historical of Square Chain

    It was 66 feet long and was calibrated into 100 links and was therefore used to standard measures of distances and areas.This led the evolution of the square chain as another consolidation of this system for estimating land surface. It became popular in the era of colonization especially among the British colonies like the America, Canada and Australia because of a surveying in the allocation of the land for settlers. Gradually little by little the use of the square chain eased off due to the introduction of the metric system in many parts of the world today. Nevertheless, it is used in historical related contexts and where the customs of measuring the land are still in practice.
