KY 780 south of Clinton is very narrow. Was this an old motor trail or old US 51?

It only looks wide enough for one-way traffic.

It reminds of "sidewalk highway" (ala old US 66) which is why I wondered about it

Not as far as I can tell from old maps. By 1937, US 51 was on its present alignment, while KY 780 was an unpaved county road. And note where farther south the county line runs along US 51, providing strong evidence that this is a rather old road.

One of hundreds of Kentucky state highways that look like that. Although in most cases, double yellow center lines are not painted on them.

At least that one's flat and straight. There are lots in the mountains that are of similar width.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I go to Mayfield quite a bit on business, and have always wanted to wander between there and the Mississippi. Now you have given me more reasons to actually do it. That looks like a fun road to explore.

So no historical significance to your knowledge? Bummer.
