I think that the acre was the area that an ox could plough in a day, which was a chain (22 yards) by a furlong (220 yards). A chain is 1/80 of a mile and a furlong is 1/8 of a mile so an acre is 1/640 of a square mile (or 4840 square yrds).

An acre is a measure of area. A mile is a measure of length or distance.
1 square mile is equal to 640 acres.
1 acre = 0.0015625 square miles.

1 acre = 43560 SQUARE miles
because simply 'mile' is a linear unit while square miles refer to area measurement.
