What Is This Tool?

This tool converts the area measurement from arpent, a historical French unit often found in colonial land records, into square dekameter (dam²), an SI-derived metric unit used in surveying and engineering. It helps translate old land measurements into modern, standardized units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in arpent representing the land area you want to convert.
  • Select or confirm the target unit as square dekameter (dam²).
  • Click convert to see the equivalent area in square dekameter instantly.

Key Features

  • Converts historical land area unit arpent to metric square dekameter (dam²).
  • Supports users working with old cadastral records and modern surveying data.
  • Provides simple and quick conversion based on a widely accepted conversion rate.
  • Browser-based tool with easy input and instant results.

Examples

  • 2 arpent equals approximately 68.38 square dekameter.
  • 0.5 arpent converts to about 17.09 square dekameter.

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting land sizes in colonial grants from Québec and Louisiana.
  • Translating cadastral maps and property deeds into modern units.
  • Surveying and engineering for agricultural plots and site plans.
  • Integrating historic land measurements into GIS and civil engineering work.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the regional variation of arpent when precision is required for legal or surveying purposes.
  • Use this conversion as an approximation for historical land records.
  • Apply further conversions if your project requires other metric area units beyond square dekameter.
  • Cross-reference converted values when working across different measurement systems.

Limitations

  • Arpent sizes vary regionally and historically, so conversions are approximate based on a general standard.
  • Square dekameter is mainly used in specialized contexts and may require additional conversions for broader applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an arpent used for?
An arpent is a historical French unit of area commonly used for land measurement in colonial land grants and cadastral records in places like Québec and Louisiana.

Why convert arpent to square dekameter?
Converting arpent to square dekameter helps translate old land measurements into a modern metric unit often used in surveying, engineering, and land management.

Is the arpent size the same everywhere?
No, the arpent size varies by region and historical context, so conversion results are approximations based on a common standard.

Key Terminology

Arpent
A historical French unit of area used for land measurement, notably in colonial records in Québec, Louisiana, and France.
Square Dekameter (dam²)
An SI-derived area unit representing a square 10 meters on each side, equal to 100 square meters, used in surveying and engineering.
