About these units
Acre (US Survey) (ac (US))
The US survey acre is based on the US survey foot, making it slightly different from the international acre. With a value of 43,560 survey-square feet, it appears extensively in historical property records and federal land surveys. Because millions of acres in the United States were mapped using PLSS, the survey acre remains necessary for interpreting legal land rights, even though modern mapping often uses metric units or the international foot. This specialized acre illustrates how subtle unit differences can survive for centuries due to legal and administrative inertia.
Square Rod (US Survey) (rod² (US))
The US survey square rod is defined using the survey foot and differs negligibly from the international square rod. This distinction matters in legal contexts, especially when interpreting older property descriptions dating back to the 19th-century PLSS-era surveys. The unit persists primarily in legal documents and rural land records, ensuring that historical boundaries remain consistent even as measurement standards evolve.
