Land is surveyed into townships and those into sections, which are squares one mile on a side. In West Texas ranchers express their landholdings in sections rather than acres. West of the Pecos a ranch of a hundred sections would probably be too small to be a viable cattle ranch.

Obviously, I have no idea what a Square mile looks like.
Is that a mile long and a mile wide?

Thanks, city folks don't talk in square miles..we talk in, "which Pub is a closer walk?"

Red Oaks section could fit inside Central Park with a little over 200 hundred acres of buffer zone

I like the rural area--no one else around property.

We contemplated moving to such a place upon retirement. However health concerns will keep us in the city - or within a 30 minute drive to good medical care.

Pretty close Benjamin 30 miles to east. We are nearly neighbors, I live on the Salt Fork of the Brazos.
