What is a link (US survey) unit?

It is a historical unit of length equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain, or 0.66 US survey feet, used mainly in US land surveying.

Why convert link (US survey) to meters?

Converting to meters allows interpretation of historical survey measurements using the modern standard unit for length.
