Mod 34 MCQ Quiz

Clustered settlements were tightly arranged around manor houses in Europe for the conve-nience of the serfs who tended the fields and livestock.

Clustered settlements were always arranged in a circular pattern around agricultural fields and pastures to protect the crops and domesti-cated livestock from wild animals.

Clustered settlements were located on planta-tions to house the laborers who were hired to harvest the crops.

Clustered settlements were constructed on ranches because they were remote, and it was more efficient to build a village on the ranch than to travel many miles for supplies.

Clustered settlements were developed in times of insecurity as a form of defense by farmers to protect themselves from roving bands of out-laws and raiders.

a navigable river as a boundary that would give free access to water for irrigation and transportation to every landowner.

flood plains on which an orderly linear pattern provided all landowners with the same number of acres and access to groundwater. 

features of the natural landscape such as riv-ers, streams, trees, and boulders that could be used to define the property boundary.

flat plains over which a grid could be laid over the landscape and then divided into square-shaped townships with 6-mile sides.

extensive areas of unforested land so that surveyors could lay out straight lines for roads prior to dividing up the land for agriculture.

Clustered settlements in New England because the tradition of clustered settlements was transplanted from England by early colonists

Linear settlements in areas settled by French colonists because there were many navigable rivers that could be used as property boundaries

Dispersed settlements because individual pio-neer families preferred a family-owned farm as opposed to the custom of communal ownership

Linear settlements in the far West because of the communal force of religion for the Mormon settlers

Dispersed settlements in mountainous regions because the landscape provided farmers with defensive positions to protect the farm from roving bands of outlaws

Tiered and diked fields that are flooded for irrigation

Small fields with mixed crops close to urban areas

Vast fields and numerous buildings with crops laid out in a linear pattern

Farmsteads with a silo for storing feed for live-stock

Vast fields of wheat interspersed with grain elevators

fragmented with farm villages

the federal survey system adopted in the late eighteenth century imposed a geometric pattern on the landscape 

Native American settlement patterns were rectangular 

English-speaking settlers replicated the landscape patterns of England 

Spanish colonists laid out settlements in a rigid geometric pattern 

there were no mountains or rivers to use as boundaries 

Both systems set specific property boundaries for landholders. However, the metes-and-bounds system is more orderly and efficient.

Both systems require geometric calculations to survey property lines. However, the township-and-range system uses simplified calculation to create a more ordered landscape.

Both systems require geometric calculations to survey property lines. However, only properties surveyed with the metes-and-bounds system can be subdivided into smaller plots.

Both systems access the Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) to set property lines. However, GNSS is accurate only for township-and-range systems.

Both systems are used in the United States. However, the township-and-range survey system is used only in the eastern part of the United States.

The township-and-range survey system was based on a geometric grid pattern, while the long-lot system was a rectilinear pattern based upon waterways or roads.

The township-and-range survey system was more varied in plot size, while the size of plots in the long-lot system was set at 50 acres.

The township-and-range survey system was based on physical features, while the long-lot system was based on a geometric grid pattern.

The long-lot survey system created a more uniform division of land, while the township-and-range survey system conformed to physical features on the landscape.

The long-lot survey system created less efficient irrigation systems, while the township-and-range system created a grid system for efficient water flow.

The river in the long lot survey system provided better access to waterways to transport goods to market.

Trade was inhibited by the metes and bounds system because of physical boundaries between land parcels.

Closely spaced land parcels in the long lot survey system facilitated higher agricultural yields and a more efficient export economy.

The metes and bounds system partitioned land into parcels of one square mile each, ensuring equal access to trade opportunities for each landowner.

The long lot system was less efficient because landowners were in direct competition for access to river trade routes.
