Townships

Definition

A township (survey) is a unit of area in the US Public Land Survey System equal to 36 sections, or approximately 93.24 square kilometers (36 square miles).

History

Townships were created by the US Land Ordinance of 1785 as a systematic method for dividing and settling western territories. Each township is a 6-mile by 6-mile square grid.

Current use

Townships remain in use for legal land descriptions in the United States, particularly in states that were surveyed under the Public Land Survey System. They serve as administrative and geographic reference units.

Square Millimeters (mm²)

Definition

A square millimeter (mm²) is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 millimeter. It equals 0.000001 square meters (10⁻⁶ m²) and is part of the International System of Units (SI).

History

The square millimeter derives from the metric system established during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. As a sub-unit of the square meter, it became widely adopted for precision measurements in engineering and manufacturing with the rise of industrialization.

Current use

Square millimeters are commonly used in engineering, electronics, and manufacturing to measure very small surfaces — such as cross-sections of wires, microchip areas, and precision mechanical parts.
