Surveyors use different coordinates systems for different states.  In 
Alabama, they use State Plane Coordinates.  You can use a program such 
as Corpscon6 to convert these and other coordinates back to something 
more useful....

A lot of plat surveys are just angles in degrees minutes and seconds 
with distance calls....no real coordinates
