About Square Megameters
A square megameter (Mm²) equals the area of a square with sides of one million meters - 10¹² m², or one trillion square meters. At this scale we describe major geographic and planetary regions. The entire land surface of Earth is about 149 Mm², the Indian Ocean covers roughly 70 Mm², and the Sahara Desert spans approximately 9.2 Mm². Square megameters provide a convenient scale for comparing continent-sized areas without resorting to hundreds of millions of square kilometers.
About Townships
A township (twp) is a large survey unit used in the US Public Land Survey System, defined as a square with sides of 6 statute miles, giving exactly 36 square miles or approximately 93,240,000 m². Each township is subdivided into 36 one-square-mile sections of 640 acres each. The Township and Range system is how most US land west of Ohio was divided and sold; township numbers and names still appear in legal land descriptions, county records, and geographic placenames across the American Midwest and West.
