This question obviously does not apply in Kentucky, where we have thousands of state numbered highways.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Since all highways are actually state highways, including Interstate and US highways, no county in America, short of Alaska and Hawaii would have 'no state "routes', with the exception of of some urban areas, where surface roads might be posted for continuity, like NYC, and even then there are two exceptions: NY 9A(in reality a 9xx route) and NY 440 which is a freeway, but not an Interstate.

And NY 440 is actually the only state route in Richmond County (Staten Island). Kings County (Brooklyn) also has just one, NY 27. I believe those are the only two counties with only one state route.

None in California, Arizona and Nevada.

In Nevada:

Carson City, which is an independent city rather than a county, has only one:  about 4 miles of NV 28 at Lake Tahoe.

Eureka and Storey Counties have four each.  Storey County is very small, a relic of the mining era.  I'd probably give the award to Eureka County because one of their four is NV 781 which is 0.039 mile of bridge out in the middle of nowhere.

Dirt Roads

North Carolina

Counties with only one (1) state highway:
  • Pasquotank (plus two US Routes, not including Bus US-17, By-Pass US-17, and double-bannered Truck Bus US-17)
  • Perquimans (plus one US Route)
  • Swain (plus three US Routes, not including Connector US-19, Truck US-19 and Bus US-441)
  • Tyrell (plus one US Route, not including Bus US-64)
  • Vance (plus one Interstate route and two US Routes, not including Bus US-1 and Bus US-158)
  • Yadkin (plus one Interstate route and three US Routes, not including Bus US-21)
Counties with two (2) state highways:
  • Camden
  • Clay
  • Davie
  • Graham (if you don't count Bus NC-143)
  • Hoke
  • Jones
  • Macon
  • Polk
Counties with three (3) state highways:
  • Caldwell
  • Cherokee
  • Chowan
  • Dare
  • Gates
  • Haywood
  • New Hanover*
  • Person
  • Transylvania
  • Yancey
*which includes Wilmington, the eighth largest city in North Carolina.

All of the above counties also have US Routes, many of which have more US Routes than state highways.  Out of the 100 counties, I only found one without a US Route:
  • Pamlico (5 state highways)
