Do you know how many feet down these quarter section line the point is?
Most farm supply stores sell the measuring wheels. Some are set up to measure feet, others are 6.6' in diameter, or 1/10 of a chain. A surveyors chain is 66'. You can wheel a field, that is square, or rectangular, wheel two sides, then multiply wheelsXwheels, count off two decimal points and have acres.
But the point is, a measureing wheel is not all that expensive and would allow you to run down the line and measure the footage each way and find a point in the woods. Provided you know the distance.
Or do you have a lat/longitude description, which a GPS would help you.
Your local Farm Service agency should be able to give you a color, aerial photograph of the place. Helpful to line up reference points and with a little sighting down the line maybe get you to this imaginary point.
The aerial photo usually shows some neighboring land and might show ponds, buildings, other fence rows, etc helpfull in sighting the line.
The FSA black and white photos use to be "to scale", good enough to lay a "Pickett" metal rule on and actually measure off the maps how many "chains", which can be converted to feet easily.
I have one of the little Pickett rules right in front of me, left over from my days working at FSA (ASCS back then)

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
