Square Mile (US Survey)


The square mile (US survey) is a unit of area used in the United States for land measurement based on the US survey foot. It represents a square with sides 1 mile long, where a mile is defined using the survey foot rather than the international foot.


1 US survey mile = 5,280 US survey feet

This unit is mostly used in land surveying and mapping within the US.
