I wrote the answer, then it sat for months on my laptop, as I had switched to my new desktop for mail.

The only reason a voltage would appear on a survey is to indicate that a power line carries so many volts. A surveyor wouldn't calculate anything using the voltage and any length or angle indicated on the survey. Surveyors calculate areas and volumes from lengths and angles. We don't calculate forces, but engineers do. No matter what unit is used to label surveys, we will have to deal with feet (both kinds, in some states or border areas) and meters, and on some old maps with other units like chains and links.
