1 mile squared or (5280' x 5280') / 43560 sq.ft. = 640 acres. One Section is the 640 acres as figured above.
A quarter section of land is 160 acres, and one acre is approximately 0.0015625 square miles. Therefore, a quarter section of land is about 0.25 square miles.
A 'Township' is larger then a section of land and is generally 6 miles square or equal to 36 sections.
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)
A quarter section of land is typically 160 acres, which is equivalent to one-quarter of a full section of land. In feet, a quarter section of land would measure approximately 2,640 feet by 2,640 feet, or about 0.75 miles by 0.75 miles.

How big is a section?
One Section of a Towship
Under the U.S. Public Land Survey (or government survey) System a section is one square mile. If you own two sections of land you own two square miles of land. Not all legal descriptions of land use the government survey method.
A quarter section of land is typically 160 acres, which is equivalent to one-quarter of a full section of land. In feet, a quarter section of land would measure approximately 2,640 feet by 2,640 feet, or about 0.75 miles by 0.75 miles.
836,109 sq miles
The number of miles walked around a section of land depends on the shape and size of the land. For example, if you walk around a square plot of land that is 1 mile on each side, you would walk a total of 4 miles. If the land is circular with a radius of 1 mile, you would walk approximately 6.28 miles (the circumference). To determine the distance accurately, you would need to know the specific dimensions of the land.
210,668 sq. miles
about 800 miles (1200km)
It is 69,898 square miles.
