The navigation device people use doesn't know the difference. Once you get rural enough the maps are not that accurate. Every road around my parents is a county route with a number, sometimes paved, sometimes not paved sometimes a narrow dirt path through some trees. The data simply isn't there to tell if county route 12 is paved or a log road.
