Those are "Quadrantal Bearings", a Google search will lead to lots of
explanations. The one at ccsu.edu was easy reading.

I didn't have any real starting reference for GPS measurements, but I could
still find the corner posts using the directions and distances.

I was also able to locate a parcel map of my property, overlaid onto
topographic maps and aerial photos, at my county web site. Side by side
comparison of that, with the same maps exposed in ExpertGPS, allowed me to
make waypoints for my GPS that let me use my GPS to find the corner markers
for my property. Try a google search of XXX county gis mapping.
