Convert Square yards to Square miles
1 square yard is 3.23e-7 mi². One square yard is exactly 3.22830578512e-7 square miles.
One square yard is 3.2283 × 10^-7 square miles. To convert square yards to square miles, multiply by 3.2283 × 10^-7; to go the other way, divide by 3.2283 × 10^-7 or multiply by 3097600. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Office of Weights and Measures. Nine square feet.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Office of Weights and Measures rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: sqyd to sqmi is how the symbols are typed on a keyboard with no superscript on it.

What is a square yard?
Nine square feet. Carpet is still sold this way in much of the trade.
What is a square mile?
Exactly 640 acres — one section of the US Public Land Survey, the grid the Midwest is drawn on. 2.59 square kilometres, and the reason a rural address is often "section 12".
How many square miles are in a square yard?
One square yard is 3.2283 × 10^-7 square miles. Going the other way, one square mile is 3097600 square yards. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
