Using Google Earth or Google Maps, find an image of each of the following types of survey system in Canada:

(a) Seigneurial system

b) New Brunswick Township System

(c) Ontario Township System (front-and-rear)

d) Dominion Land Survey System

(e) British Columbia Survey System other than DLS (oriented to topographic such as mountains)

 (f) unsystematic settlement in Newfoundland ( historic viking settlement )

 (g) Block and Lot Survey System

2. Choose some area in the world, outside of Canada. Based on a visual examination of that area in Google Earth / Google Maps, state (a) whether the land allocation appears to be systematic, (b) whether there is similarity to any Canadian survey system, (c) whether the area appears to be densely settled, (d) what kind of land use appears to be carried out there (e.g. industrial, residential, agriculture, forestry, or some combination of these), and (e) whether the land allocation appears to be a good fit for the land use and population density.

The location I picked is within Liverpool, UK. the land allocation appears to be systematic, roads and blocks are organized as parallels and perpendicular forms, the layout and orientation is consistent throughout the area. I think this is similar to the blocks and lots survey system. From view of the map, the area is a highly dense metropolitan, residential and commercial would be the dominant land use around this area. The land allocation is functional within the area, however, better allocation method can be implemented to organize the land development progress. Now it looks like the land development progress radiate from the core of the city and not carefully planed out, so that the layout of different community is hardly connected.
