What Is This Tool?

This tool converts area values from square miles, a common imperial measurement, to townships, a traditional U.S. land survey unit used for legal and cadastral purposes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the area value in square miles that you want to convert.
  • Select square mile as the source unit and township as the target unit.
  • Click convert to see the equivalent area in townships.
  • Use the displayed conversion to relate your measurement to PLSS legal land descriptions.

Key Features

  • Converts area from square miles to townships following the U.S. Public Land Survey System.
  • Includes a straightforward multiplication formula based on the fixed conversion rate.
  • Supports interpretation of land parcels for property law, surveying, and land management.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for surveying professionals and land administrators.

Examples

  • 10 square miles equals 0.277777778 townships.
  • 50 square miles converts to approximately 1.38888889 townships.

Common Use Cases

  • Describing large land areas such as cities or agricultural tracts using square miles.
  • Converting to township units for legal land descriptions and property deeds in the U.S.
  • Facilitating cadastral mapping and rural land administration.
  • Supporting resource inventories and land use planning.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you understand the context of the U.S. Public Land Survey System when interpreting township measurements.
  • Use this conversion tool as a guide but verify with official land records for legal precision.

  • Cross-check large conversions with cadastral maps for accuracy in property boundaries.

Limitations

  • Township units are specific to the U.S. Public Land Survey System and may not be recognized internationally.
  • Simple area conversions do not replace exact legal survey boundaries required for land titles.
  • Precision depends on proper application of PLSS boundaries rather than only numerical conversions.
