Explore the simplicity of converting square chains to square miles with our quick and easy-to-use tool, designed to satisfy your land measurement needs and spark your curiosity.
A chain, in land measurement, is a unit of length equaling 66 feet or 22 yards. Historically, it was used for land surveying. One chain is composed of 100 links, which were physically represented by heavy steel chains used by surveyors to measure property boundaries.
Definition of MileA mile, a unit of distance in the Imperial and US customary systems, measures 5,280 feet or approximately 1,609 meters. Traditionally based on the distance marched in 1,000 paces of two steps each, the mile has been a standard of distance measurement with historical significance and remains widely used today.
| Square Chain (ch²) | Square Mile (mi²) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 ch² | 0.00000247105 mi² |
