Unit Definition (sadzhen)
The sadzhen is a traditional Russian unit of distance corresponding roughly to the English fathom and French toise. Early in the 1700s, Czar Peter the Great fixed the length of the sadzhen at exactly 7 English feet. This equals 3 arshin or 2.1336 meters. Sagene is an older transliteration of the Russian word.

Unit Definition (block [South, West U.S.])
The Block is an informal unit of distance popular in the U.S. A block is the average distance between street intersections in the rectangular street grids common in most American cities. The length of a block is about 1/10 mile (160 meters) in USA cities in the South and West.
