Rod (US Survey)

The US survey rod is a unit of length used in U.S. land surveying. It is defined as exactly 16.5 US survey feet, which is slightly longer than the international foot. Since one US survey foot equals approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey rod measures about 5.0292 meters.

The survey rod, also called a pole or perch, is historically significant in the U.S. Public Land Survey System and is used to measure land boundaries and distances.

Key facts:

1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet
1 US survey rod ≈ 5.0292 meters
4 US survey rods = 1 US survey chain
40 US survey rods = 1 US survey furlong

Though the US survey foot and related units are being phased out in favor of international units, the US survey rod still appears in legal land descriptions and older surveying documents.

Nautical Mile (International)

A nautical mile (international) is a unit of measurement used primarily in maritime and aviation contexts. It is defined as 1,852 meters or 1.852 kilometers, which is approximately 1.1508 statute miles. The nautical mile is based on the Earth's geometry, representing one minute of latitude along any meridian. This makes it particularly useful for navigation, as distances on charts and GPS systems often relate directly to degrees of latitude and longitude. The international nautical mile was officially adopted by the United States in 1954 and is now used worldwide for consistency in global navigation. It is closely linked with the knot, a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. The standardization of the nautical mile has greatly simplified communication and coordination in international travel, trade, and defense across oceans and airspace. Its use continues to be essential in global navigation systems today.
