What is a furlong (US survey)?

It is a historical non-SI unit of length used in US surveying defined as exactly 660 US survey feet, commonly used in land descriptions and horse racing.

How many yards are in a kiloyard?

One kiloyard equals 1,000 yards, which corresponds to 914.4 meters using the international yard definition.

Can this converter be used for modern measurements?

This converter is best for translating historical or customary furlong measurements into yard-based units rather than precise modern scientific lengths.
