| Convert from square chain [Gunter, survey] to township |
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. 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.
