What is a US Survey Foot?

The US survey foot (1200/3937 meters ≈ 0.3048006 m) was the standard American measurement until 2023. Slightly longer than the international foot (0.3048 m), it originated from the 1893 Mendenhall Order and was crucial for the Public Land Survey System that mapped the American West.

What is an Arpent?

The arpent was a French land measurement ranging from 0.3-1.3 acres (1,300-5,300 m²). In colonial Louisiana, it standardized to 0.85 acres (3,439 m²) - about 192 French feet square. This unit persists in Quebec property records and New Orleans land deeds, where 'Arpent Lines' still mark historic boundaries.
