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.
Spanish customary units
The vara of Burgos, 0.8359 m, was Spain's standard yard from 1801 until the metre replaced it; it divided into 3 pies (feet), 36 pulgadas (inches), 432 líneas and 5,184 puntos, and a paso (pace) was 5/3 of a vara. The vara travelled to the colonies and was fixed differently in each: 0.838 m in Mexico, 0.866 m in Argentina, and 33⅓ inches (0.847 m) in Texas and California, where old land grants are still described in varas.
