About these units
Square Mile (US Survey) (mi² (US))
The US survey square mile is extremely close to the international square mile but is defined using the US survey foot, a slightly different value than the international foot historically used in land surveying. This unit appears in American land deeds, cadastral maps, and federal land management documents. The Public Land Survey System (PLSS), which divided much of the western United States into townships and sections, relied heavily on survey-based square miles. Although the modern US has transitioned to the international foot (as of 2023), historical land descriptions remain legally tied to the survey-based definition, ensuring its continued relevance.
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.
