About Acre (US Survey) (ac (US))
Definition
The US survey acre is a historical unit of area based on the US survey foot, equal to approximately 4,046.873 m².
Mathematical Relationship
1 US survey acre ≈ 4,046.873 m². Differs from international acre (4,046.856 m²) by about 0.016 m².
Conversion Formula
To convert US survey acres to m²: multiply by 4,046.873. To international acres: multiply by ~1.000004.
Practical Applications
Historical US land surveys, old property deeds, and State Plane Coordinate System calculations.
Interesting Facts
The difference between US survey and international acre is about 0.016 m² — roughly the area of a sheet of paper. Over large areas, it adds up.
Common Mistakes
Using US survey acre in new calculations — it's been deprecated since 2023. Use the international acre instead.
Educational Tips
As of 2023, the US survey foot and acre are retired. All US measurements now use the international definitions.
About Square Mile (US Survey) (mi² (US))
Definition
The US survey square mile is a historical area unit based on the US survey foot, equal to approximately 2,589,998.47 m².
Mathematical Relationship
1 mi² (US) ≈ 2,589,998.47 m². Differs from international mi² (2,589,988.11 m²) by about 10.36 m².
Conversion Formula
To convert US survey mi² to km²: multiply by 2.590. To international mi²: multiply by ~1.000004.
Practical Applications
Historical US Public Land Survey System sections (each nominally 1 mi² US survey).
Interesting Facts
Over one square mile, the US survey definition differs from the international definition by about 10.4 m² — roughly a 3 m × 3.5 m room.
Common Mistakes
Using the US survey mile for new calculations. Deprecated since 2023 — use the international definitions.
Educational Tips
The US Survey system was a legacy from 1893. Its 2023 retirement unified US measurements with the international standard.
