Not sure what help you're needing help for, but 18 rods squared is .1125 acre, if you want a current unit of measure. (1 square rod = .00625 square acres, 272.25 square feet, 30.25 square yards)
One rod is equal to:

This is just disgusting, but i was thinking of measurements. The song that goes, "I love you, a bushel and a peck" transformed itself in my reptilian brain into "I love you, a splinter and a heck, a splinter and a heck and a hug around the neck". This will surely make a long drive tomorrow = hell.

I got over the zinc headaches right before i got bitten by a hobo spider, which malady adds extreme itchiness to extreme headache. I'm darn near normal now...except for the numbness.
and the zinc raises cain with the kidneys..

Ha, ha. We had a local fireman wearing a woman's bikini with big fake hooters and blond wig while standing on the bike trail, doing something nasty. The news played the 911 tape of someone turning him in. Also they had a video of him in his getup handcuffed walking to the patrol car. Pretty odd stuff here in the Midwest, maybe nothing big in Montana, but that stuff don't play well here.
By the way, the bikini and wig did not in the least improve his appearance.
If you know 'I've Been Workin' On The Railroad', you should be able to squeeze that other song out.

You need to use -9 and -10 powers for nanometer and angstrom.

Ah, but is it 18 square Rods, or 18 rods, square? (Two acres, more or less, seems much more likely than a couple hundred SF--but I've seen "cemetaries" that small more than once, too).Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
Hey CaptainI found the cemetery on an old map from 1900
It is on the corner of a Homestead just on the edge of town.The Homesteads where typically 160 acres This one is divided into Two 40's south and one 40 north east and a 37 acre parcel on the north west corner of this homestead.So I assumed the cemetery was 3 acres.I go out there and it looks like one maybe 2 acres no fence just over grown grass and trees .So I go to the county clerks office and I read it is 18 rods square.The are suposed to be 40 bodies out there from the 1870's .I found 3 Stones ,I am told the are 12.We are going to try to recruit the local scouts to help clean it up.It is called the Friendville Cemetery.
Thanks to everyone for their input .Its funny when you start a thread it takes on a life of its own.Rick Sheehan

By happenstance, I was off visiting on my way home, and ran into one of my old bosses, now long retired. Somehow units of measurement cropped up (in that anachronistic way such things do). Turns out, he remembered from his civil engineering surveying class there in '46 or so, that burial plots were reckoned as being sized as 1 rod by 1 rod.
Afterwards, it occured that might be why the thought on a 9 plot cemetary being 18 square rods' area came to me. That'd be about 20' x 40', and I've seen that enclosed in iron fence a time or two.Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
Not sure if this will work, but if it doesn't, e-mail me and I will send you a copy of this conversion program. It's been around a while.
