A .30-06 round, aimed high, with the goal of getting it as far as possible, is generally going to max out at 1.5-1.7 miles, assuming favorable winds and no obstacles.

For most practical shooting, at a target that's roughly chest level, ranges aren't going to exceed ~500 yards, and are often a moot point with a decent backstop.

From wikipedia: "The acre is related to the square mile, with 640 acres making up one square mile. One mile is 5280 feet (1760 yards)"
