About Square Mile
Symbol: mi2
Abbreviation:
sq mi (Imperial units)

Area
One square
mile is an area of the earth which measures a square that is one mile long on
each side. Note that if you don't specify whether a mile represents a statute
or a nautical mile, and without specifying any units at all, then it's
generally assumed to refer to statute miles exactly. So therefore one square
mile is equal to 5,280 feet or 2.59 hectares (2.589988 hectares actually). In
the US Public Land Survey System and in Canada's Dominion Land Survey system,
there was traditionally one section of land per square mile; however nowadays
they typically contain 640 acres instead. The abbreviation sq. remains common
with miles, however since it's so close to "square" in both
appearance and pronunciation some abbreviate it as "sq." to avoid
confusion with a unit of distance which uses the same abbreviation.
In area
measurements, a square mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers (or 2.590 square
kilometers) and is a common unit widely used in the imperial system as well as
the US customary units. It should be noted that this unit is not the same as sq
mi confused mile—a "square mile" which refers to a region of land
that has been subdivided by surveyors into one-mile blocks (640
acres/1.6km/2.59km²), each with an acreage of approximately 0.404 km²; or,
alternately, 640 acres (1.6328 km²).
