It doesn't feel right to call something a highway=* if it isn't usable
for travel.  If it is usable for travel, then it should be tagged
highway=track/path/etc as appropriate.

For a right of way designated in the plats (which, if it's in the
plats it shouldn't be built on, right?), maybe something like
landuse=right_of_way, or landuse=paper_street.
