The mileage markers are also used in police reports, highway department work orders, and the like, as a standardized way of describing an approximate location.

A related question is how to tag something like this:

It's often called a mile marker, but the distance between each
consecutive pair is not constant. The intent is for tourist-oriented
businesses to advertise their location with respect to the markers. I
used man_made=tower name=Marker 7, but I don't know if this is best.
