What is a league (statute)?

A statute league is a historical unit of length equal to three statute miles used in English-speaking countries for describing distances.

What is a US survey link?

The US survey link is a historical unit of length equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain, commonly used in US land surveying.

Why convert league (statute) to link (US survey)?

Converting enables interpretation of legacy British distance measures into US surveying units for accurate land records and historical research.

Supports historical and legal land measurement interpretation.
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring scientific knowledge.
Facilitates integrating old British or colonial distance measurements into US surveying standards.

Examples

2 leagues (statute) equals 48,000 links (US survey).
0.5 league (statute) translates to 12,000 links (US survey).

Common Use Cases

Decoding distances from historical British maps or 19th-century travel records that mention leagues.
Interpreting US historic land survey plats and cadastral records involving links.
Civil engineering and land-transfer projects that require matching old measurements with current survey units.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify unit standards before converting, especially with historical data variations.
Refer to original documents carefully when converting legacy units for legal or engineering purposes.
Use this tool to assist in bridging older British measurement units with American survey units.

Limitations

The statute league is obsolete and can differ slightly depending on historical context.
US survey link values depend on the US survey foot, which varies from the international foot.
Large scale differences between league and link may cause rounding errors for fractional inputs.
