Link (US Survey)

The US survey link is a unit of length used in the United States for land surveying, defined as exactly 7.92 US survey inches. Since one US survey inch is slightly longer than the international inch (due to the US survey foot), the US survey link is approximately 0.201168 meters.

It is part of the US survey system, derived from Gunter’s chain, which is divided into 100 links per chain (66 US survey feet). Links are used to measure small distances in surveying and land measurement.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 US survey link = 7.92 US survey inches

  
  
• 
  

  1 US survey link ≈ 0.201168 meters

  
  
• 
  

  100 links = 1 US survey chain (66 US survey feet)

  
  
• 
  

  25 links = 1 US survey rod (16.5 US survey feet)

  
  

Though the US survey units are being phased out, the US survey link still appears in historical land records and legal surveying 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)
