Unit Definition (manzana [Costa Rican])
The manzana is a traditional unit of land area in Central America. The manzana is the area of a square 100 varas on a side; it thus varies according to the length of the vara. The Costa Rican manzana equals 0.698 896 hectares or about 1.727 acres. Very similar units are used in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The word manzana means an apple, but the unit is probably related to manzanar, orchard.

Unit Definition (township)
The township is a traditional unit of area in the U. S., equal to 36 sections or the area of a square 6 miles on a side (about 93.24 square kilometers). Like the section, this unit is used by the U.S. Public Land Survey System, which applies to most of the U.S. except for the original 13 states, Alaska, and Hawaii.
