Quote44 and 46 were relative latecomers.  (I've seen early-30s maps of the region which don't show them.)  I suppose someone decided there needed to be two-digit routes there and they...picked numbers out of a hat?  (Is it possible that 44 was the lowest number available?)

It wasn't.  US 38 was an original route but became available in 1931.  US 28 was also dropped in 1934, the same year US 44 came into existence.
