Description

Square Chain (ch²)

The square chain is a historical unit of area measurement, primarily used in land surveying. One square chain is defined as the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equating to 4,356 square feet or approximately 404.686 square meters.

This unit was commonly employed in the United States and other countries that used the imperial system, especially for agricultural and land division purposes. Although modern surveying has largely transitioned to metric units, understanding the square chain is essential for interpreting historical land records and legal documents.

In contemporary contexts, the square chain is occasionally referenced in rural property descriptions and by professionals dealing with land assessment and historical property boundaries.

Bigha

The bigha is a traditional unit of land measurement prevalent in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Its size varies regionally; for instance, in West Bengal, one bigha equals 1,600 square yards (approximately 1,338 square meters), while in other regions, it can be significantly larger.

Despite the adoption of the metric system, the bigha remains widely used in rural areas for agricultural land transactions and local land assessments. Its continued usage underscores the importance of understanding regional measurement units in land-related dealings.

Professionals involved in real estate, agriculture, and land development in South Asia should be conversant with the bigha and its regional variations to ensure accurate communication and documentation.
