What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you translate area values measured in are (a), a metric unit for small land plots, into townships, a large U.S. cadastral unit used in land surveying and property descriptions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numeric area value in are (a) into the input field
  • Select 'are [a]' as the source unit and 'township' as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent township value
  • Use the conversion result for legal, surveying, or land management tasks

Key Features

  • Converts are (100 m²) to township units used in the U.S. Public Land Survey System
  • Supports cross-unit land area conversions for legal, cadastral, and agricultural purposes
  • Easy browser-based interface for quick and accurate conversions
  • Provides clear conversion rate and formula for transparency

Examples

  • 100 are equals 0.0001072506 township
  • 500 are equals 0.000536252998 township

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring small land parcels in metric units and converting to U.S. cadastral units
  • Preparing legal land descriptions and deeds with township references
  • Surveying and mapping property boundaries within U.S. Public Land Survey System regions
  • Planning agricultural activities that require both metric and customary land measurements

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check unit selections before converting to avoid errors
  • Use this tool primarily when working between metric and U.S. land measurement systems
  • Be mindful that township units cover very large areas compared to are
  • Apply the tool for overview conversions rather than precise measurements of small plots

Limitations

  • Township units are very large, so resulting values from small ares can be extremely small
  • The township measurement is specific to the U.S. Public Land Survey System and not applicable internationally
  • This tool does not replace detailed surveying measurements or legal land descriptions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an are (a) used for?
An are is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters, commonly used for measuring small land plots, gardens, or allotments.

What does a township represent?
A township is a U.S. cadastral unit representing a 6-mile by 6-mile square, used in public land surveying and legal land descriptions.

Can I use this conversion tool internationally?
While the are is a metric unit used internationally, the township is specific to the U.S. Public Land Survey System, so this conversion is mainly applicable to U.S. land management contexts.
