If the corners are marked, there is a slim chance the lines between were cleared or possibly flagged. Doubtful but a chance. Either way, marking/flagging the lines between the corners can be done with a handheld compass and bearing info from your survey plat.

Being a surveyor some of the advise given here is interesting to say the least.
The survey plat should be signed and stamped by the surveyor in charge. Usually there is contact info., address and phone no. on the plat. Using the same firm again would be in your best interest because they are familiar with the property.
There are several solutions to do what you need done.
Visit with the surveyor to discuss what is the best option. My suggestion is to let him/her set one or more metal monuments along the lines plus temporary wooden stakes in between so the clearing crew has something to follow.
Don't do this your self especially with a compass, a mistake can cost a lot of money. Bearing on a plat vs. compass bearing can vary greatly. A little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.
