Where was the first land survey that used both acres and miles?

The original concept of an acre is from Mesopotamia, meaning the amount of land that a yoke, or pair, of oxen could plow in one day. The mile is a Roman concept meaning 1000 'steps'. (...with 'step' actually meaning a complete walking cycle. - We might call that 2 steps or paces.) Where were these diverse concepts merged in a land survey? Also, when was this survey made, and who conducted the survey. Note: One square mile is 640 acres; A square, one and a quarter mile on each side, is 1000 acres. (To easily visualize this, remember that a quarter mile squared is equal to 40 acres.)

Where was the first land survey that used both acres and miles?
I would guess the mile and acre were first used in England for land - tax purposes. In 1066 A.D., William of Normandy took over the English throne and began what was called the "Doomsday Book", which was really just a list of all the property and it's owners in england, which would then be taxed. I would assume this would be the first formal government public land survey that used acres and miles as we know them. I am not positive, but pretty sure.
Reply:The Public Land Survey System in the United States, which divides the land into square mile sections, was created in 1785, and is still functioning today, as a part of The Bureau of Land Management, which is in The Depatment of The Interior.
