County roads whose numbers reflect their status as former US or state highways

One more in Minnesota which I discovered yesterday, which is that old US 14 in Waseca County is Waseca County 14.

I actually mentioned that one in the OP.

Another example in Minnesota: Hennepin CSAH 81 was MN 81 from 1982 (when US 52 was duplexed with I-94) to 1988. MN 81 ran from MN 100 in Robbinsdale to I-94 in Minneapolis via W Broadway Ave.

Here's a photo I took in Bellaire, Ohio, of a County Route 214. I took it wondering if it was a State Route 214 at one time.  After doing some research, I discovered that it was!

Wow! Something I wondered about the photo is this: I know that many counties in Ohio have numbered county roads, but this is the first time I've seen one actually labeled with the pentagon shield in that state. How common is it in Ohio, really?

Belmont County had a lot of pentagons, but I don't recall seeing a lot of pentagons elsewhere in the state.  I remember seeing the pentagons in counties adjacent to the Ohio River. Logan County will use the little white squares, and they post them everywhere.

Here's a white square on a former alignment of US33:

At one time, Summit County used Pentagon's to identify their county roads.  However...

1) They were only shown on the street blades of the county road, and

2) Like the rest of the street blade, the pentagon was white text on a green background.

A few from North Dakota:

The eastern part of ND 26 became Cass County 26 when the state highway was shortened
ND 33 became Grand Forks County 33
ND 55 became Pembina County 55
ND 62 became Stutsman County 62
ND 63 became LaMoure County 63 / Stutsman County 63
Various County Highways 10 along I-94/former U.S. 10
Various County Highways 81 along the old alignment of U.S. 81

Also I didn't see it mentioned that MN 332 became Koochiching County 332.

I'm going to guess that North Dakota 38 once continued farther south, to add to that list.^

I'm pretty sure you're correct. Cass County seems to have some sort of half-baked county highway grid system that 26, 38, and 81 all stick out from.

In AZ, Maricopa County Route 85 is the old route SR 85 used to take from Buckeye to Phoenix.

Florida is loaded with county highways that were formerly state highways.

Come to think of it, has Ontario been mentioned?  It's littered with regional routes that used to be provincial routes thanks to all the downloading in the 90s.

Ontario also has surprisingly few loggable routes in Travel Mapping for that reason. I feel like lot of them would be State Routes if they were in the US, but as "regional roads", they're the TM equivalent of our county routes.

It looks like these days old MN 54 is now Grant County Highway 54.

Also Carlton CSAH 45 north of I-35 in Cloquet is a former section of MN 45, which still exists south of I-35 to MN 210.
