PLEASE HELP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY The physical geography of an area is important to the metes and bounds survey system because this survey system required


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


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


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


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.
