If it's ever been surveyed before (how else could it have been defined),
then there should be metal stakes at the corners already.

I owned a home in up state NY once. The tile search by a lawyer showed
the land originated from either Mohawk or Niagara Indians... seems the
road or my property was a trail along the history.
Just recently ( larger city) I found my markers etched in the side
walk with a concrete saw blade.... just a one tic cut...

...
All kinds of ways -- the old oak tree, so many feet from some other
existing mark, the old fence line, the legals (N 1/2 of NW 1/4 of NE
1/4 of S 1/2 of Section 12, Range 33, Township 6), ...
It's possible to transfer title for generations and nobody ever
bothers to actually determine _precisely_ where the corners are
located. Of course, there may be markers, there may have _been_
markers, ...
As a bonus points question, how large is the parcel above? :)

I owned a house at one time where the deed described the property line
at one point as something like "and continues (so many) feet easterly
untily coming to a privy which is there situate, whereupon it
contiunes southerly..." You get the picture.

Better to be stuck up in a tree than tied to one.

"...[from] the old oak tree, so many feet..."
Yes, I think I provided the kind of picture... :)
In TN, wife's family had at one time a deed that proclaimed ownership
from a particular pair of points bounded by lines "extending to the
Pacific Ocean"...needless to say, they were never able to fully occupy
their entire estate :). But until after the war controlled a very
large area in the valley. At this point the family holdings are down
to the location of the original house and about 60 A surrounding it.
