Cordel [1]
Cordel [1] :
A traditional unit of distance in Spain and Latin America. More specifically, the cordel is a rope used in land measurement. In Mexico and the southwestern U.S., the cordel measured 50 varas or about 42.33 meters (138.9 feet), using the Texas standard of 33 1/3 inches for the vara. In Cuba, however, the cordel was only 24 varas or about 20.35 meters (66.8 feet). Longer cordels were used in some parts of South America
