Dominant Land Survey Systems in the U.S.

1. All land is passed on to the eldest son

-Called Primogeniture (Germanic system)

-Parcels tend to be larger and farmers work a single plot

-Seen today in Northern Europe and the areas that were

colonized by Northern European countries (the

Americas, S. Africa, Australia and NZ)

Property Inheritance

2. Land is divided among heirs

-Considerable fragmentation over time

-Seen today throughout much of Asia, Africa and Southern Europe and most of the allotted Indian reservations in the US

-Land reform initiatives have consolidated landholdings in some places, but fragmentation is still common worldwide

Property Inheritance

Dispersed Settlements•Land is intensely cultivated by machine, not by hand•Typically found in the United States Midwest• Isolated from neighbors as opposed to living side by side

Nucleated (or Clustered) Settlements•Land is intensely cultivated by people and animals•Number of families living in close proximity with fields surrounding houses and farm buildings

•Most prevalent rural residential pattern in agricultural areas

Agricultural Villages

•A stilt village in the Mekong Basin of Cambodia
