La palabra es estadia, sin tilde, tengo entendido que es un instrumento utilizado en topografía para medir, sin embargo no lo encuentro en ningún diccionario.

leveling rod
In the US, the common name for this is "leveling rod;" "level staff" is also found in dictionaries, but isn't common nowadays, at least in the US.
The leveling rod is not an instrument, really; it is a big long ruler, in essence, with cunningly designed graduations to assist the survey crew in determining relative elevations of points of interest at a site. Not used so much these days, because so much of surveying is done using the GPS system.
There are a number of pictures of these rods at this URL (in Spanish):

Even though here it appears with a tilde, I think this is what you are looking for:
En topografía, una estadía o mira estadimétrica, también llamado estadal en Latinoamérica, es una regla graduada que permite mediante un nivel topográfico, medir desniveles, es decir, diferencias de altura.
