“The chain is the unit of linear measurement for the survey of the public lands as prescribed by law. All returns of measurement in the rectangular system are made in the true horizontal distance in links, chains, and miles. The only exception to this rule are special requirements for measurement in feet in mineral surveys and townsite surveys.”
- "Surveying Our Public Lands"; US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management; 1988
