Get yourself some graph paper, pick a convenient scale, and start
drawing. Also draw out some 1 acre squares. If you can find a sensitive
weight scale then cut out the land diagram and an acre square, weigh each
and do the math. If you can't find a sensitive scale you can make a fairly
sensitive balance. Put the land diagram in one pan and acre squares and
partial squares until you have a good balance.
Probably get close enough simply using a reasonable scale (drawing, not
weight) and counting the squares and estimating fractions.
I didn't sketch this out to see what shape it actually turns out to be
but could probably estimate it reasonably well from fitting some simpler
geometric figures into it as well...
