About these units
Acre (ac)
An acre is a traditional Anglo-American land unit equal to 43,560 square feet, or roughly 4,047 m². It originated from medieval English farming, where an acre represented the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plow in one day—reflecting its deep agricultural roots. The acre remains widely used in the United States and the UK (in certain contexts), especially in real estate, agriculture, and land conservation. It is culturally intuitive for rural populations, where land plots have been measured in acres for centuries. The unit's longevity demonstrates how historical agricultural practices shaped modern land evaluation systems. Despite its lack of coherence with the metric system, the acre endures because of its cultural familiarity and long-standing legal integration.
Township (township)
A township, as used in the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS), is an area equal to 36 square miles, arranged as a 6-mile × 6-mile square. It is a cornerstone unit of American land division, originating during the late 18th-century settlement of the American frontier. Townships standardized how land was surveyed and sold, allowing the federal government to systematically divide territory for settlement, homesteading, and revenue generation. They were subdivided into 36 sections, each one square mile in area. This grid-based system profoundly shaped American geography. Roads, property lines, agricultural fields, and county boundaries in much of the Midwest and West follow township geometry. Even today, PLSS townships remain legally relevant in land deeds, zoning regulations, and cadastral surveys.
