How to get map from coordinates in deed?
I rently purchased two parcels of land at a Sheriff auction. There are a couple of easements (an HOA holds the easement for a possible, not yet really existing road ) listed in the deed but the description is basically a string of coordinates. What is the easiest way to "translate" this description back into some sort of a map that allows me to see where exactly the road easements are? This is a very rural area, so believe it or not, it is NOT obvious where the road runs as it is quite overgrown.
The HOA does not have a map for the proposed road (all they have is the same table of coordinates). I tried to locate the surveyor who generated the data, but he is no longer in business. My next step was to contact other surveyors who presumably have software that can do this, but so far, I have been turned down by several offices- they all seem "too busy" doing more lucrative work.....
Does anyone here know another way? For what it is worth, the County mapping department was no help at all....

Clarification:
Are the points,
GPS-use google earth
State Plane coordinates-a surveyor can quickly convertvthem to GPS....I have the program I downloaded from the US Cirps of Engineers, don’t know where it is, you may can find it for your state
Meets and bounds....you need a section/township/range map.
