Square Mile

A square mile is a unit of area measurement used to quantify the size of a space, such as land or a region. It’s equivalent to a square that measures one mile on each side. To visualize, imagine a square plot of land that’s one mile long and one mile wide; the total area within that boundary is one square mile. This measurement helps compare sizes of places—like neighborhoods or parks—and is commonly used in geography, real estate, and urban planning to express area sizes at a local or regional level.
