What Is This Tool?

This tool converts measurements from the US survey chain (ch) to links (li), units historically used in land surveying and cadastral mapping. It helps translate legacy survey measurements into smaller units for detailed analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in chain (US survey) units you want to convert
  • Select the input unit as chain (US survey) [ch]
  • Choose link [li] as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the result expressed in links
  • Use the converted values for cadastral or survey record analysis

Key Features

  • Converts chain (US survey) to link units quickly and reliably
  • Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
  • Supports interpretation of historical land surveying data
  • Provides precise unit translation based on traditional definitions
  • Ideal for cadastral mapping, surveying, and land record management

Examples

  • Convert 1 chain (US survey) to get approximately 100.0002 links
  • Convert 5 chains (US survey) to obtain roughly 500.001 links

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting historical land deeds and cadastral surveys
  • Converting legacy survey data into smaller units for clarity
  • Reconstructing property boundaries from 18th–19th century records
  • Integrating historical measurements into modern GIS and mapping
  • Supporting rural property boundary and right-of-way descriptions

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify that the original measurement uses US survey chain units
  • Use converted links values to enhance precision in legacy data
  • Combine unit conversion with mapping software for visualization
  • Be mindful of historical context when working with these units
  • Cross-check converted data with other land record documents

Limitations

  • Units originate from historical standards and may have slight discrepancies
  • Conversions may not match exact modern metric distances perfectly
  • Primarily intended for legacy land data, not precise modern surveying
  • Use with caution when integrating into legal or technical applications
