I agree, having an area tagged as "survey point" doesn't make much sense,
it will be a precise point, typically marked with a metal sign similar to

The problem in many cases is the "man_made" key. I come across many
objects that were tagged "man_made=lighthouse", with other tags
describing attributes of that structure, but then an

Since surveyors have to take bearings-from as well as bearings-to survey
points, the point would have to be located where survey ins

maybe the tower has a point defined (e.g. top of the antenna or a sign or
similar) which could be a survey_point.

A survey point is those brass markers in the ground - an official X in the
ground of some kind.
I assume a tower on a distant mountain is a survey_reference_object or similar.
It certainly isn't a point.

At least that's reassurance that a buoy, which can drift quite a bit
