Section


A section is a land measurement unit used in the United States Public Land Survey System (PLSS). It refers to a square area that is 1 mile on each side, covering:



  • 1 square mile



  • 640 acres



  • Approximately 2.59 square kilometers



Sections are the basic units within a township (which contains 36 sections) and are commonly used for legal land descriptions and property boundaries.


Square Rod (US Survey)


A square rod (US survey) is a unit of area based on the US survey foot and rod, used primarily in land surveying in the United States.



  • 1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet (exactly 16.5 feet)



  • 1 square rod (US survey) = 16.5 ft × 16.5 ft = 272.25 square feet ≈ 25.2929 m²



The US survey square rod is slightly different in exact length than the international measurement due to the foot definition but is essentially used the same way for land measurement.
