[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1712049, member: 9933"] Thank you wbvs58. I will remember that now. So simple, 10 acres is about 4 hectare. Much simpler to remember than one acre = .404686 hectare. Here is another one. A rod (sometimes known as a pole) is a measurement of [B]16.5 feet[/B]. Each rod is comprised of 25 links. A two-pole chain is twice the length of a rod, or 33 feet. Likewise, a four-pole chain, which is also known as a surveyor's chain, measures 66 feet Our legal description was written out in long hand back in the 1870's. It describes the boundary in rods and chains and includes the statement,"following the fence" numerous times. That old fence was used to define our boundary, so that description is extremely long with a lot of statements saying something like following the fence for 2 rods at an angle of X degrees and then 4 rods at Y degrees and so on. The description of the north boundary alone goes on for several pages. Our legal right of way is described as starting at the ferry crossing on Military road and going to the big oak tree so many degrees and chains away on the hill. I have no idea what big tree they are referring to and neither the ferry nor Military Road now exist. Perhaps the large oak is also no more. We have accessed off a paved road and through a gravel pit, since we purchased 30+ years ago, and that was the access for the prior owner, but I have a hunch the actual legal description is from the other end of the ranch.
