Roods

Definition

A rood is an old English unit of area equal to one quarter of an acre, or 1,210 square yards (approximately 1,011.71 square meters).

History

The rood was a common land measurement unit in medieval England and was used in property deeds and agricultural records. It derives from the Old English word 'rōd' meaning a measure of land.

Current use

The rood is now rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical land records, legal documents, and property deeds in parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Townships

Definition

A township (survey) is a unit of area in the US Public Land Survey System equal to 36 sections, or approximately 93.24 square kilometers (36 square miles).

History

Townships were created by the US Land Ordinance of 1785 as a systematic method for dividing and settling western territories. Each township is a 6-mile by 6-mile square grid.

Current use

Townships remain in use for legal land descriptions in the United States, particularly in states that were surveyed under the Public Land Survey System. They serve as administrative and geographic reference units.
