(If I remember my class correctly) here's some background info:

The Rectangular Survey System uses a Baseline(horizontal) and a Meridian(vertical) to divide parts of the states into Counties, then Sections one square mile each. Your recorded plat(plot of land) is located within that.
Michigan uses 8mile road for the baseline and the meridian is near Lansing,I think.

The Metes(angle) and Bounds(distance) will define the extent of your property using a local landmark(trees/walls/plate in concrete/etc..).
Maps/descriptions should be available from the county as informal proof.
