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.
About Square Furlongs
A square furlong is an area unit equal to a square with sides of one furlong (220 yards or ~201.17 m), approximately 40,469 m² or exactly 10 acres. The furlong (from Old English 'furrow-long') was historically the standard ploughing distance, and 10 square furlongs equals one acre - a relationship that made traditional land surveying convenient. While square furlongs are rarely used in official modern measurements, they appear in historical land surveys, British horse racing contexts, and as a handy reference for visualising 10-acre blocks.
