What is a league (lea)?

A league is a historical unit of distance used for land and sea, commonly about 3 statute miles or 3 nautical miles, but it varies by location and era.

What is a link (US survey) [li]?

A US survey link is a small historic unit equal to 1/100th of a Gunter's chain, used mainly in US land surveying for precise linear measurements.

Why convert from league to link (US survey)?

This conversion helps translate older distance measurements in leagues into smaller units suitable for modern land surveying and mapping tasks.

Key Features

Converts from league [lea], a unit used historically in nautical and land measurements, to link (US survey) [li], a small unit in US land surveying.
Supports understanding and mapping of older survey records by relating large traditional units to precise survey links.
Browser-based and easy to use without needing complex equipment or software.

Examples

2 leagues equal 47999.904 links (US survey) by multiplying 2 by 23999.952.
0.5 league equals 11999.976 links (US survey), calculated by multiplying 0.5 by 23999.952.

Common Use Cases

Converting distances from historical nautical navigation or land survey research measured in leagues.
Interpreting old US land survey plats and cadastral boundary descriptions recorded in links.
Supporting civil engineering tasks that require reconciling legacy measurements with present-day land data.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which type of league measurement was originally used (statute or nautical) as values varied historically.
When working with legal or engineering documents, cross-check conversions with original records to maintain accuracy.
Use this converter to assist in translating legacy data but be aware of potential variations in league definitions.

Limitations

The league is a historical unit with varying lengths depending on region and era, so exact precision can vary.
The US survey link is an outdated measure that might not align directly with modern metric or international units without further conversion.
Conversion results depend on the league definition applied, as it is not standardized globally.
