I’ve been going through that site for a while, but not having enough information to make it work.

I now understand (see above post) that I was intersecting two bearings, they were not a coordinate system.

I have another nearby coordinates of
X=1,644,780.863
Y=287,385.764

I will have to learn what that references. I now understand I have bearings and distances to get from that starting point, to the points I’m trying to define. I will just have to do some more research.

Sadly, the land office with this data is about 4 hours one way from my home. Another friday off work to look forward to driving.

Thanks for the help.

I now understand (see above post) that I was intersecting two bearings, they were not a coordinate system.

To identify the coordinate system, look for something on the map labelled "Meridian." If there is a legal description, it might name the meridian. In legal descriptions, meridians are sometimes abbreviated, such as "W.M." for Willamette Meridian (covering OR and WA). If the land is in Louisiana, there's a good chance your map uses the Louisiana Meridian. If you can identify the meridian, you should be able to convert your X,Y coordinates to GPS coordinates.
