the back forty’ is a beloved american idiom. in the us, 1 township is 36 square miles (6 miles by 6 miles). each square mile (a section of land) is divided into 16 subdivisions of 40 acres (1/4 mile by 1/4 mile)– so a quarter section is 160 acres, a common unit of ownership in the early days of farming. the quarter-section farmer would own two ‘front 40s’ and two ‘back 40s
