[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1577496, member: 22236"] The thing is, "just staking a line" can turn into a full blown survey if boundary corners cannot be located and verified. I take it that you do not have a survey plat? Particularly a recorded survey? That is a map of the survey by the surveyor who performed it, indicating line dimensions (distance, direction, angles), descriptions of monuments found and set, whether it's stones, axles, rebar, capped rebar, trees (or witness trees), metes and bounds calls, natural physical monuments. Anything that would help put the line on the ground. If all you have is the PLSS aliquot description, they may have to break down the section. That means go out until they find a section corner, quarter corner, center of section, anything to put this thing on the ground. I wouldn't recommend you using a phone or handheld outdoorsman type gps to try to do anything except narrow a search area for one of the previously mentioned monuments. In sorry reception areas even survey grade gps has limitations and less than acceptable results, especially elevation (which you won't require). How did you stake the south line, by the fenceline? I reread the op. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the center of section (your se corner, if I understand your description correctly) lies in the road, or thereabouts. In flat country in particular, around here anyway, roads and ditches are commonly placed on section lines. It may be off the centerline a little bit, sometimes edge of the road, but nearby. The road on the west side isn't refered to as township road is it? lol A lot of them are, for good reason. With roads on both ends, and you said you have at least the two corners in the road on the east, and surveyors can find something on the west side, and it's verifiable, then a survey may not cost you as much as you think. I would check on that. Also, if you do get it surveyed, record it. The more info we can find at the courthouse, the cheaper the survey to those in the area later.
