Are To Township (A To Twp) Converter

The Are To Township (A To Twp) Converter is a helpful tool designed to convert land area measurements between two common units used in land surveying and real estate: the Are (A) and the Township (Twp). Understanding these units is essential for accurately measuring and describing land parcels.

An Are (A) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters. It is commonly used in land measurement, especially in countries that utilize the metric system. To convert from Ares to other units, remember that 1 Are = 100 m².

A Township (Twp) is a land measurement used primarily in the United States Public Land Survey System (PLSS). It refers to a square area that is typically 6 miles on each side, covering 36 square miles in total. One Township is divided into 36 Sections, each one mile square.

To convert from Ares to Township, you can use the following formulas:
– To convert Ares to Square Miles:
Square Miles = (Ares × 100) / (6 miles × 6 miles × 640 acres per square mile)
Since 1 square mile = 640 acres and 1 Are = 100 m², the simplified formula is:
Square Miles = (Ares × 100) / 259.0 (approximately)

Alternatively, to convert directly from Ares to Township units, use:
– 1 Township ? 36 square miles
– 1 square mile = 640 acres
– 1 Are = 100 m² ? 0.0247 acres
So, the conversion involves translating Ares into acres, then into square miles, and finally into Township units if needed.

This tool simplifies these calculations, allowing you to input your measurement in Ares or Township units and instantly see the equivalent measurement in the other unit. It’s ideal for land developers, surveyors, and anyone involved in land measurement who needs quick and accurate conversions.
