[cartography]
A narrow ribbon-shaped parcel used during the French settlement of North America. A long lot's boundaries ran back from the waterfront as roughly parallel lines, allowing a settler to have a dock on the river, a home on the natural levee formed by the river, and a narrow strip of farmland that often ended at the edge of a marsh or swamp. Also called arpent sections or French arpent land grants.
