Chains, furlongs and the survey foot
Gunter's chain of 1620 tied land measure to the acre: a chain is 66 ft or 100 links, 10 chains make a furlong (the length of a furrow), 8 furlongs a mile, and an acre is one chain by one furlong. Rods (16½ ft, a quarter chain) and chains still appear in US and Canadian deeds, and furlongs in horse racing. The US survey foot, 1200/3937 m, differs from the international foot by two parts per million, which adds up over a state; it was retired for new work on 1 January 2023, though survey data and legal descriptions in survey feet remain.
