Vara Conuquera

The vara conuquera is a traditional Spanish unit of length used historically in some parts of Spain and Spanish America, especially in land measurement. It is a regional variation of the vara, which generally measures around 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), but the vara conuquera specifically is associated with the unit used for measuring conucos—small agricultural plots or gardens.

The length of the vara conuquera could vary locally but was typically similar to or a fraction of the standard vara. It was used primarily in rural land surveying and agriculture to define plots and land boundaries.

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.
