What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you change land area values from arpent, a traditional French measure, into square pole, an imperial unit frequently found in historical surveying and property descriptions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the land area value in arpent you want to convert.
  • Select 'arpent' as the from-unit and 'square pole' as the to-unit.
  • Submit the conversion request to get the equivalent area in square pole.
  • Use the conversion factor to verify results: 1 Arpent equals approximately 135.172 square poles.
  • Apply the converted data to analyze historical land measurements or modern property descriptions.

Key Features

  • Converts from arpent, a historical French land measurement unit, to square pole, an imperial area unit.
  • Supports understanding of historical cadastral records and colonial land grants.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for translating legacy land data into imperial units.
  • Provides practical conversion examples with precise formulas.
  • Suitable for surveyors, historians, and legal professionals dealing with land records.

Examples

  • 2 Arpent is converted to 270.3445888314 Square pole using the formula 2 × 135.1722944157.
  • 0.5 Arpent converts to 67.58614720785 Square pole by multiplying 0.5 by 135.1722944157.

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting parcel sizes in French colonial land grants in Québec and Louisiana.
  • Translating historical cadastral maps and property deeds for modern surveying and GIS.
  • Converting data to imperial units for legal property descriptions and surveying applications.
  • Analyzing legacy land records when migrating property information into modern systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the regional definition of arpent as its size may vary historically.
  • Use this tool primarily for historical or legacy data rather than modern measurements.
  • Cross-check converted values when dealing with large land areas to avoid rounding discrepancies.
  • Consider the context of historical land grants for accurate interpretation of results.

Limitations

  • The arpent's size varied across regions, which can affect the accuracy of conversions.
  • Square pole is largely outdated in current metric-based land measurement systems.
  • Rounding errors might occur due to the long decimal conversion factor, especially with large values.
  • The tool is intended for historical and legal contexts rather than contemporary land measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the arpent size variable?
