Modern land description is based on various township configurations. Which of the following is correct?

  1. A double front township had lots twice the size of a single front township

  2. A section contained 1,000 acres

  3. Metric measurements were used for townships

  4. Township road allowances were 1 chain wide (100 feet)

The correct answer is: Township road allowances were 1 chain wide (100 feet)

In modern land description systems, township road allowances are typically 1 chain wide, which is 100 feet. This standard width allows for efficient planning and access to different parts of the township. The road allowances play a crucial role in providing access to various lots within the township and ensuring the overall functionality and development of the area. Option A is incorrect because the size of lots in a township is not determined by whether it is single or double front; lot sizes vary based on the specific planning and requirements of the area. Option B is incorrect because a section commonly contains 640 acres, not 1,000 acres. Option C is incorrect because metric measurements are not typically used for townships in land description systems used in Ontario, Canada. The imperial system is more commonly employed for these purposes.
