Furlong (US Survey)

The furlong (US survey) is a traditional unit of distance used in U.S. land surveying, defined as 1/8 of a U.S. survey mile, or exactly 660 U.S. survey feet. Since one U.S. survey foot equals approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey furlong is about 201.1684 meters long.

While the difference between the US survey furlong and the international (standard) furlong is extremely small (just a few micrometers), it was significant in precise land measurements, particularly in legal and cadastral surveying contexts.

Key Conversions:

1 US survey furlong = 660 US survey feet
1 US survey furlong ≈ 220 yards
1 US survey furlong ≈ 201.1684 meters
8 US survey furlongs = 1 US survey mile

As of 2023, the U.S. has officially deprecated the use of the survey foot (and by extension the survey furlong) in favor of the international foot, but it may still appear in historical and legal documents.

Vara de Tarea

The vara de tarea is a traditional Spanish and Latin American unit of area used especially in land measurement and agriculture. It combines the vara, a unit of length, with the tarea, a unit of area.

The vara is roughly 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), though it varies by region.
A tarea typically refers to an area equal to 100 square varas, but this can differ locally.
Therefore, a vara de tarea is often used to express land area based on square varas.

This unit remains in use in some rural parts of Latin America for land deeds and agricultural measurements, reflecting historical Spanish colonial measurement systems.

Summary:

Vara ≈ 0.84 meters
Tarea ≈ 100 square varas (area)
Vara de tarea = unit combining length and area for land measurement
Common in Spanish-speaking countries’ historical land records
