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.

Square Pole (pole²)

The square pole is another term for the square rod or square perch, representing an area of 272.25 square feet or approximately 25.293 square meters. It is defined as the area of a square with sides measuring one pole (16.5 feet).

This unit was traditionally used in land measurement and property delineation. While it's rarely used in modern contexts, the square pole may still appear in historical documents and land records. Understanding this unit is important for professionals working with historical land data and for accurate conversion to contemporary units.

Familiarity with the square pole ensures precise interpretation of historical property measurements and aids in maintaining the integrity of land records.
