[Talk-us-massachusetts] Mapping stone walls

Has anyone thought about mapping stone walls in Massachusetts?  I've helped
to add to New Hampshire's efforts to map stone walls there.  They have over
3,800 miles of stone walls mapped now.  See
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ec12d9d5583c4709be446a77115bf0a2

I think it would be useful to have a similar effort in Massachusetts.
These historical walls have value as heritage objects that deserve
protection.  The first step to protection is to know where they are.  We
could also then track their loses due to development or theft.

Also, what do people think about mapping cellar holes?  I searched for tags
that would be suitable for mapping cellar holes but didn't find any.  I
love in an historic district and mapping the cellar holes adds to the
historical context of the district.  Any ideas as to how to add cellar
holes?

Thanks,

Marc
