About these units
Rood (rood)
A rood equals 1/4 of an acre, or 10,890 square feet, and was used in medieval and early modern England for land measurement. The rood often appeared in agricultural records, taxation documents, and estate descriptions. Farmers used the rood to describe smaller plots of arable land, orchards, and grazing fields. Although obsolete today, the rood reflects the practical needs of historical agrarian societies, where manageable sub-acres allowed fine-grained recordkeeping and land division within larger estates.
Township (township)
A township, as used in the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS), is an area equal to 36 square miles, arranged as a 6-mile × 6-mile square. It is a cornerstone unit of American land division, originating during the late 18th-century settlement of the American frontier. Townships standardized how land was surveyed and sold, allowing the federal government to systematically divide territory for settlement, homesteading, and revenue generation. They were subdivided into 36 sections, each one square mile in area. This grid-based system profoundly shaped American geography. Roads, property lines, agricultural fields, and county boundaries in much of the Midwest and West follow township geometry. Even today, PLSS townships remain legally relevant in land deeds, zoning regulations, and cadastral surveys.
