About Square miles and Square inches
Square miles (mi²): One mile squared, or 2.59 km²; the standard US unit for large land areas. Common uses: City and county area, state and national park sizes, watersheds, and large geographic features in the US.
Square inches (in²): One inch squared, or 6.4516 cm² exactly (since the inch is defined as 2.54 cm exactly). Common uses: Small flat areas in US contexts — phone screens, computer chip die sizes, postal stamps, and small fabricated parts.
