If the earth were perfectly flat, it would always be 40 acres. However, the earth is round, necessitating what are called correction lines. These are lines the surveyors had to "adjust" to stay in line with true earthly north, south, east, and west. Therefore a "40-acre" piece of land may actually measure more or less than 40 acres.
