Nearly all improved roads in Michigan are numbered highways. These identifying digits are assigned by the Federal government (thus carrying a US- or I- prefix), the state government (carrying an M- prefix), or a county government (bearing a C- prefix or a three-digit number). Despite the simplicity and efficiency of numerical designations, many of these primary roads-- known today mainly by their ciphers-- also have been assigned names. These monikers may have been bestowed a century or more ago or in more recent times, and they may be well-known (like the Lodge Freeway) or totally alien to present-day motorists. Given the fact that no source had tried to track down the names given to Michigan's numbered state and Federal highways, Lee Barnett sought to ascertain all the titles that have been assigned to these roads over the years. The results of this search comprise this collection.
