What is a homestead unit?

A homestead is a historical U.S. land area unit, typically equal to 160 acres or about 64.75 hectares, used mainly in historical and cadastral contexts.

Why convert homesteads to square micrometers?

Converting homesteads to square micrometers helps link large land areas recorded historically with very small area scales used in scientific and microscopic measurements.

Is the homestead a standard measurement unit?

No, the homestead is an informal, historical unit not recognized as a modern official standard unit for land area.
