Best Answer

A section is a term from the Public Land Survey System, which is a square 1 mile by 1 mile. A square mile is 640 acres. Some surveys had variances from this due to errors or other reasons, but the surveys stand, resulting in some sections having an amount different than 640 acres. But for the most part, a section is 640 acres. See related link.
