How can one determine the coordinates or actual boundaries of a property

I have inherited property in Greene County, Pa. An example of the deed for 1 section of the property reads as follows

"FIRST: Beginning at a stone, corner of land of M M, thense by land of M M, north 2 degrees East 41 perches to a point; thence by same, North 20 degrees West .5 of a perch, to a point; thense by same, North 20 degrees East 129 perches to stone.........

This is a recorded deed from 1950 ? ? ? ? I have 4 of them. I would like to find out preferably  gts coordinates or at least streets and creeks and other natural formations rather than a "post, stone, or red oak or white oak"

 

Any ideas ? ? ? ? ?

I would consult a surveyor from that area. Old deeds are difficult to decipher, especially when dealing with trees as boundries markers, which they could no longer be present.

Only a licensed professional land surveyor can legally determine property lines in Pa.  It is a more complicated matter than most people know and surveyors are educated both in school and the field to have the expertise to determine the intent of one's deed.

Have a survey done.

Yes to survey. This looks like a description from the 1800s or earlier.
