What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms area measurements from the traditional French unit called arpent to the United States survey foot square foot unit. It assists users in interpreting old land records and translating them into modern American surveying units.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the area value measured in arpents
- Select the source unit as arpent and target unit as square foot (US survey)
- Execute the conversion to see the result in square foot (US survey)
- Use the converted value for legal, surveying, or GIS documentation as needed
Key Features
- Converts arpent, a historical French land measurement unit, to square foot (US survey)
- Supports interpretation of colonial land grants and cadastral records from Québec, Louisiana, and France
- Offers exact conversion based on the defined rate of 1 Arpent = 36800.509952192 Square foot (US survey)
- Ideal for use in legal property descriptions, GIS mapping, and land surveys
Examples
- 2 Arpents converts to 73601.019904384 Square foot (US survey)
- 0.5 Arpent converts to 18400.254976096 Square foot (US survey)
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical French colonial land sizes into modern U.S. survey units
- Interpreting cadastral maps and property deeds originating from Québec or Louisiana
- Converting land-measurement data for modern surveying and GIS applications
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify the regional context of the arpent measure due to its size variation
- Use this tool for general conversions rather than highly precise surveying calculations
- Combine conversion results with relevant historical records for accurate land interpretation
Limitations
- The arpent size varied across regions, so exact conversions may require local context knowledge
- Small differences exist between the US survey foot and the international foot affecting precision
- Not suitable for extremely precise geodetic survey work requiring official standards
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an arpent?
- An arpent is a historical French unit of area used mainly for land measurement, often found in colonial land grants in places like Québec and Louisiana.
- Why is the US survey foot used instead of the international foot?
- The US survey foot is a specific standard used in U.S. land surveying and legal property descriptions, differing slightly in length from the international foot.
- Can this converter be used for modern land surveying?
- This tool is best for converting historical land measurement data rather than precise modern surveying where higher accuracy standards are required.
Key Terminology
- Arpent
- A historical French unit of area used for land measurement, commonly about 0.34 hectare but varying by region.
- Square foot (US survey)
- A unit of area equal to the square of the U.S. survey foot, used primarily in land surveying and legal property descriptions in the U.S.
- Cadastral records
- Official documents or maps recording boundaries and ownership of land parcels.
