Unit Definition (oxgang)
The oxgang is an old English unit of land area equal to 1/8 hide or roughly 15 acres (6 hectares). The hide was considered the area a farmer could plow with a team of 8 oxen, so an oxgang was the area he could plow with a single ox. The unit was also called the bovate, from the Latin word bos for an ox or cow.

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.
