AP Human Geo. 5.2 Survey Methods and Settlement Patterns

What are survey methods?

• The different ways boundaries of property ownership are legally established.

• Techniques used to gather data from a sample of individuals.

• Methods for analyzing statistical data in research.

• Procedures for conducting interviews in qualitative studies.

Where did the Long Lot survey method originate?

• Came from France & Spain to North America.

• Developed in the United States during the 19th century.

• Originated in England and spread to Canada.

• Created in Italy and used in South America.

What is a Clustered Settlement Pattern?

• A pattern where rural residents live in groups of homes in close proximity, sharing resources and community, using Metes and Bounds Survey Methods.

• A settlement pattern where homes are spread out over a large area, with each home having its own land and resources.

• A type of urban development characterized by high-rise buildings and dense population.

• A pattern where residents live in isolated homes, relying on individual resources and services.

Who pioneered the Township and Range Survey Method?

• Thomas Jefferson

• George Washington

• Abraham Lincoln

• Benjamin Franklin

What is the Metes and Bounds survey method?

• A method using GPS technology to define land boundaries.

• Utilization of landmarks and physical features to establish boundary lines, resulting in irregular shaped plots of land.

• A standardized grid system for land measurement.

• A technique involving aerial photography to survey land.

What is a Linear Settlement Pattern?

• A pattern organized along a line, typically associated with a transportation system or physical feature like a river or coast, using Long Lot Survey Methods.

• A settlement pattern that is circular in shape, often found in urban areas.

• A random arrangement of buildings and structures without any specific layout.

• A pattern that clusters around a central point, such as a market or town square.

Where did the Metes and Bounds survey method originate?

• Came from Great Britain to North America.

• Developed in ancient Egypt for land measurement.

• Originated in France during the Renaissance.

• Created in the United States for land division.

What is a Dispersed Settlement Pattern?

• A pattern where settlements are isolated and dispersed, promoted by the US government for westward expansion, using Township & Range Survey Methods.

• A pattern where settlements are clustered together in a compact area, often near resources.

• A pattern characterized by urban sprawl and high population density in cities.

• A pattern where settlements are evenly distributed across a landscape, often influenced by geographical features.

What is the Township and Range Survey Method?

• A system using rectangles and grids, with each township being 6 miles x 6 miles, making it easier to track land sales and purchases.

• A method for measuring land using circular plots and natural landmarks.

• A technique for surveying land based on historical land use and ownership records.

• A process that divides land into triangular sections for easier navigation.

What is the Long Lot survey method?

• Long strips of land that start at a river or lake, providing all landowners with equal access to resources and transportation. Used in areas like Louisiana along the Mississippi River.

• A method of dividing land into square plots for equal distribution among landowners.

• A surveying technique that uses a grid system to allocate land parcels evenly.

• A system that divides land based on natural features like mountains and valleys.
