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

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
