What is a league (statute)?

A league (statute) is a historical unit of length equal to three statute miles, historically used in English-speaking countries for mapping and land measurements.

What is a mil or thou?

A mil, also called a thou, is a length unit equal to one thousandth of an inch, commonly used in U.S. manufacturing for specifying very small thicknesses and tolerances.

Why convert leagues to mils?

This conversion helps translate large historical distances into very small, precise engineering units for detailed analysis in manufacturing, electronics, or historical research.
