One section is equal to one square mile. In one square mile, there are 640 acres, therefore in one quarter of a section of land, there are 160 acres.
1/2 mile on each side. A section is one mile square (640 acres) a quarter section refers to 1/4 of a section, so it would be 1/2 mile on each side. (160 acres)
160km2 = 160,000,000m2
195 miles taking this route:Take I-4 WEST from Orlando to I-75 to OCALA and NAPLES off EXIT 9 near Tampa. Follow signs on the exit ramp to I-75 SOUTH to NAPLES.Take I-75 SOUTH to Ft. Myers.
The Homestead Acts offered people 160 acres of free land if they would live on and improve it.
There is no whole unit that will answer your question. One Square Mile = 640 acres One Square Mile = 260 Hectares (not 160). There is no unit which equals 4 acres (which would be the answer you are looking for). A scotts acre (or scottish acre) is equal to 1.3 common acres - but again that doesn't add up to what you are looking for.
hoho
A square mile is composed of 640 acres. So, since 160 x 4 = 640, 160 "4-acre square plots" = 1 sq mile. A quarter square mile is equal to 160 acres. An acre contains 43560 sq ft.
There are 640 acres per square mile. So if someone said there are 160 they are wrong. What do you mean by square acres? No such thing as a square acre, because an acre is already a squared measurement.Well, what if the acre is a circle, or a triangle, or a rectangle, or a parabolic? I would presume a square acre might means that all sides are of equal length, forming a square.

Yards is a unit of length; acres is a unit of area. You can't convert that. Perhaps you meant square yards? Each acre has 4840 square yards.
4 square acres
A typical 160 acre tract of land is a quarter section. A section is 1 square mile. Therefore, a quarter section (160 acres) is 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile (1/2 mile square).
There are 640 acres in one square mile. Therefore, 0.5 square miles is equal to 0.5 x 640 = 320 acres. WRONG! See below correction. 0.5mi x 0.5mi = 0.25mi^2 = 640 x 0.25 = 160 acres
1/4 square mile.
