A brass disc in concrete marking a quarter section corner. In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.
Each of them has 160 acres. As a rule, farmland is measured and sold in quarter sections. This table will give you necessary information for converting square miles and acre into other units of area. We hope than now you understand how many acres are in a square mile.
