What is a statute league?

A statute league is a historical English unit of length equaling three statute miles, once used for overland and coastal distances.

Why convert from league (statute) to reed?

Converting helps interpret historical and regional measurements in old maps, legal records, and ethnographic studies that reference these obsolete units.

Is the reed measurement consistent everywhere?

No, the length of a reed varied by location and era, so its measurement can differ across regions and times.
