OP, lesson here is never seek independent consult from the service provider.
Exactly. This is why I always go to my mechanic for medical advice.

check to see if your proposed building site has a base flood elevation requirement

The Base Flood Elevations should be determined by the Floodplane Manager. Also maps do change and the Manager is the first to receive notice of these changes. I know several non professionals who used old maps and now are paying a lot of money for their mistake.
Local governments, City or Parish, can have a higher requirement than FEMA's number on a map. This is called freeboard but everyone knows this.
You still need the surveyor to set the elevation monument if you have a BFE or BFE + Freeboard requirement at your building site.
Another bit of info. if you are in zone A your flood insurance goes down every foot you go above the BFE. These measurements are recorded to the nearest 10th of a foot but FEMA rounds them to the nearest foot so if you are 0.6' above the BFE you get credit for being 1.0' above. I recommend to home owners building go a minimum of 1.6' above the BFE and even more if you can.
Every square foot of property in La. has a flood zone. Some have elevation requirements and some do not.

But these sophisticated baws might probably suggest you call Chip Foose to paint yer trees.

Messicans are laughing at this thread. Its 600 feet in an open field. stake both markers with posts and sight them down every 100 feet or so. If the posts all disappear and look like 1 single post you are plenty close enough for a fence line.
Some are acting like you are setting your elevations to build a skyscraper.

I’d use OnX or Land Glide AP. Both are very accurate. Then t-posts.

Not sure you understand what accuracy means in relation to property lines

Good luck pulling that line tight enough at over 600' to get it off of short grass.
Not to mention, if theres any wind that line willl sway all over the place.
Well. Don't tell anybody. but my sons and i did it over the length of a 1/4 mile pasture fence and the barb wire we strung to set the post line was tight enough to play like a fiddle. Tractors make fine anchors for the ends of the line.
Yes, a transit or spotting scope would have worked too but we didn't have one.

I was wondering why they thought that was impossible? I get there are factors in play such as vegetation or winds but with a good anchor point and wire stretcher there’s no reason you can’t stretch a heavy string or barb wire across. I do agree having it professionally done if the line may be contested, but not being able to mark the line without a full survey kit is crazy to me. I just stretched a line 400’ this year and it was right over my boundary stakes.

Survey is only answer. It'll cost you more doing it yourself. The PLS will verify those monuments are actually your corners before staking a line. And there are cases where a monument is not a property corner but rather a witness corner. Anything above ground can be disturbed. Have it done professionally, and maybe not even by the prior PLS.
