Square Mile To Section (Mi² To Sec) Converter

The Square Mile To Section (Mi² To Sec) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert areas measured in square miles into sections, which are commonly used in land measurement. Understanding these units can be useful for real estate, agriculture, and land management purposes.

A square mile (Mi²) is a unit of area commonly used in the United States to measure large land areas. One square mile equals 640 acres, or approximately 2.59 square kilometers. It is a measure of the surface area of a square that is one mile long on each side.

A section (Sec) is a land measurement unit used primarily in the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) in the United States. One section is equal to 640 acres, which is also equivalent to one square mile. Therefore, 1 section = 1 square mile.

To convert from square miles to sections, the formula is straightforward: since 1 square mile equals 1 section, you simply need to know the number of square miles and use the following formula:

Number of Sections = Number of Square Miles

For example, if you have 3 square miles of land, it is equivalent to 3 sections. This simple one-to-one conversion makes it easy to switch between these units using this tool.
