That was a problem with the old transit and tape measure approach. That's why I don't trust one to rotate 180 degrees and be spot on although ought to be within a couple inches. Although you could run stakes down hill both ways from the top and then go back shoot them from various spots all with transit or a laser. Keep the stakes perfectly vertical. More work but they can be moved till they line up both ways.
Getting the line and fence line straight is probably the best anyone can do. If the pins are off then a licensed surveyor would have to fix everything.
A lot of lots in subdivisions were staked out by tape once one was off they can all be off. Pins in front of my house measure out at 74' 9 1/4" for a 75' lot. Neighbor next door has 75' 3" between pins. Neighbor on other side has a concrete drainage with no pin to be found. So we don't really know if my pins, her pins, and someone on down either way are off. Not going to worry about 2 and 3/4 inches but a new buyer might. I knew the original surveyor and never heard any rumors that he wasn't sober, during the day anyway.
Road right of ways is a different issue. They have the road ROW 60, 80, 100, 120 or whatever they platted. However they didn't always put the centerline of roads in the center of the ROW. Any measurements coming off of a road or street may not jive with the property lines. Farm ground around here wasn't pinned at the section corners and the section corners aren't always in the middle of an intersection as the township maintainer is always moving the road a little every time he blades one side and then does the opposite side the next time he blades.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
