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.

Cawnie

The cawnie is a historical unit of land area measurement formerly used in parts of India, particularly in the southern regions like Tamil Nadu. One cawnie is approximately equal to 1.3225 acres or about 5,400 square meters.

Although the cawnie is largely obsolete today, replaced by standard metric units, it may still be encountered in historical land records and older property documents. Professionals dealing with land assessment, restoration, or historical research in these regions should be familiar with this unit for accurate interpretation of such records.

Recognizing the cawnie aids in preserving the historical context of land measurements and ensures precise conversions in contemporary applications.
