The rod (US survey) is a US survey unit. One rod (US survey) equals 5.029210058 meters, so every conversion on this page starts from that single number. Survey units come from a slightly older definition of the foot that the United States kept for land measurement, so they are a tiny fraction larger than the modern versions.
