What are the major differences between the French-inspired long lot system in Quebec and the English-inspired metes and bounds system more commonly used in the New England colonies?
What will be an ideal response?
The long lot system assigns long, narrow strips, or rows, of land that front on a river or road. Farmers build their houses along the rivers or roads, which ensures that each farmer has access to transportation. The metes and bounds system (measurements and boundaries) marks property boundaries based on markers such as trees, rocks, rivers, roads, and field stakes, as well as direction and distance to the next marker.
