| Convert from hacienda to square chain [Gunter, survey] |
Unit Definition (hacienda) The Hacienda is a large traditional unit of land area in Mexico and the southwestern U.S. The word also refers to a large estate, ranch, or plantation. As a unit, it equals 5 square leguas or 125 million square varas. Using the Texas definition of the vara, this would be about 8960 hectares or 22 140 acres (34.59 square miles). Using the shorter Mexican vara, it would be about 8778 hectares or 21 690 acres. Unit Definition (square chain [Gunter, survey]) The square chain [Gunter, survey] is a traditional unit of area in English surveying, defined to be the area of a square whose side equals Gunter's chain (4 rods or 22 yards). Thus the square chain equals 16 square rods, 484 square yards, 4356 square feet, or exactly 0.1 acre.
