A section of land typically refers to a unit of measurement used in the United States, which is equal to one square mile or 640 acres. The dimensions of a section of land would be approximately 1 mile by 1 mile, or 5,280 feet by 5,280 feet.
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)
1 mile squared or (5280' x 5280') / 43560 sq.ft. = 640 acres. One Section is the 640 acres as figured above.
