lote mensurado de XXX acres

encontré muy poco sobre esto, pero creo que lo de called viene de "deed call"

"Calls are bearings and distances" (rumbos o orientaciones y distancias) con lo cual parecería indicar que el lote ha sido mensurado.

This section will help you understand how a boundary line is defined from a simple Deed Call.
You can think of a deed call as a set of instructions that would guide you from one end of a straight line on the surface of the earth to the other. It doesn't consider hills, valleys, trees or rivers. It doesn't even consider that the earth is not flat. Every deed call gives the following three instructions....

Thanks Robin! Yes, a little hasty, but your agree should help asker to the right answer.
agree Neil Ashby : Askers go away with bad answers because a small minority post the first thing that comes into their heads, no research, no references, no respect or regard for their fellow professionals. If the asker wants to be lazy/hasty, then they commit term suicide!

What is an acre tract?

Encontré esto (https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080420104201A...

I know what an acre is but i was wondering if there was a difference? I'm interested in some land i seen in the paper but it says 5.17 acre tract. so i was wondering what the 'tract' part means. thanks for your help!

Best Answer: Tract just means a parcel of land. Usually indicates too that a larger property has been divided up for development.

En cuanto a "called", tal vez tenga que ver con "reclamado", tal vez sea algo así como que se ha solicitado la posesión de una parcela de xxx acres, pero mi sospecha es solo un tiro a ciegas...
Note from asker:
Gracias, sospecho similar a tu sospecha... no pude obtener ninguna certeza hasta ahora pero tu sospecha ayuda!
