Why historic?  These stones are official markers with current legal
standing.   I would tend to man_made=survey_point.   (Some current
features have historic value, but these are not merely historic.)

And if the most recent date is 70, you should hassle your selectmen, but
don't be surprised if you get appointed and have to dig that last report
out of the town vault!
