About these units
Guntha (guntha)
1,089 square feet (about 101.17 m²). A land unit used in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka; 40 guntha make an acre.
A guntha is a small land measure used on the Indian subcontinent, and in India it is defined as a square 33 feet on a side. That gives 1,089 square feet, or about 101.17 square metres (120.999 square yards), and 40 gunthas make one acre. The guntha therefore acts as the fraction below the acre in plot sizes.
The size changes across the border. In Pakistan the unit is counted as 120 square yards, with 4 guntha to a jareeb and 10 jareeb to an acre, so the 40-to-an-acre ratio survives even though the guntha itself is a little smaller. Sub-units differ as well. In India a guntha holds 16 annas of about 6.32 square metres each, while in Pakistan 6 annas of 20.16 square yards make a guntha.
Wikipedia cites a 1966 United Nations handbook for the Pakistani values and says the units were used alongside the Imperial measures. The figure used here is the Indian one, 1,089 square feet. In metric terms a guntha is a little over 100 square metres.
1 guntha = 101.1714106 square meters (approximately).

Square Mile (mi²)
640 acres or about 2.59 km². Used for the area of cities, states and countries in the US and UK.
A thousand Roman paces, mille passus, became the mile, and under Elizabeth I Parliament fixed the statute mile at eight furlongs, or 5,280 feet, in place of the older Roman-based value. The square mile inherits that length. Its most famous use came in the United States: the Land Ordinance of 1785 started the Public Land Survey System so that western land could be surveyed and sold to pay war debts, beginning with the Seven Ranges in eastern Ohio.
In that system a section is roughly one square mile, or 640 acres, and a township is 36 sections in a square six miles on a side. One square mile is nearly 2.59 million square meters. Chicago's Midway International Airport, at about 650 acres, covers roughly 1.02 square miles. Beware the phrase mile square: a region 20 miles square has 400 square miles, but so does a rectangle 10 by 40 miles. The US survey version of the mile was retired from 1 January 2023, but the international square mile remains the unit for cities, states and countries in the US and UK.
1 square mile = 2,589,988.11 square meters (approximately).
