The only exceptions to this rule are special requirements for measurement in feet in mineral surveys and townsite surveys. [13] Linear Measurement 1 Chain = 100 links or 66 feet 1 Mile = 80 chains or 5,280 feet. Area Measurement 1 Acre = 10 square chains or 43,560 square feet 1 square mile = 640 acres

An acre is therefore 160 square rods or 10 square chains. The name perch derives from the Ancient Roman unit, the pertica.
