Long Lot System: This one was put in by the French and used in French regions of North America such as Canada and Louisiana. The ones you need to know for APHG are on this page. The shapes evident in farmland and villages often have their roots in cadastral systems. Patterns of land use in rural areas can be seen from the air if you are flying in an airplane. Cadastral systems are land use and distrubtion systems.
