Arpent To Mou (Arp To Mou) Converter

The Arpent To Mou (Arp To Mou) Converter is a useful tool designed to help you easily convert measurements between two traditional units of land area: the Arpent and the Mou. These units are commonly used in certain regions for measuring land, especially in historical or local contexts.

An Arpent is a unit of land measurement that varies by region, but in many cases, it is approximately equal to 0.845 acres or about 0.34 hectares. It is often used in French-influenced areas and historically in Louisiana. The Mou, on the other hand, is a smaller unit, typically used in French land measurement systems, and is approximately equal to 1/10th of an Arpent, or about 0.0845 acres.

To convert from Arpent to Mou, you can use the simple formula:
Number of Mouns = Number of Arpents × 10

Conversely, to convert from Mou to Arpent, use the formula:
Number of Arpents = Number of Mouns ÷ 10

This converter makes it straightforward to switch between these units, whether you’re working with land records, historical documents, or local measurements. Just input the value in one unit, and the tool will automatically calculate the equivalent measurement in the other unit, helping you understand and compare land sizes easily.
