The database of USGS monuments would be a good start. There are
millions of physical locations in that and nearly every point has a good
locational history, detailed descriptions for finding it, and many of
the points have been confirmed and refined numerous times over the years.

Pick the right points and you can find locations that have been refined
recently and with the some of the best locational aids known to mankind.

That has been discussed here before, someone can tell us how to get
started on finding and downloading those lists. I shunned it as soon as
I saw it, I knew if I ever got started on looking for geologic monuments
it would somehow overwhelm me.

One can get just the monuments list of one, two, (or
whatever), miles from a given Lat/Long from:
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_radius.prl

Then all one needs to do is build a little solar powered
house over the selected monument, purchase SAWatch:

Run it for a year on a laptop (with a serial connection),
and there you have all your data...
