I've seen that sort of thing when a state route gets updated and moved a
little... often there are patches of the old road to the side... some of
them actually still in use, and connecting at both ends, but some just
fragments... I've seen that a lot along Rt 11 and Rt 3 in upstate NY... :)

True...

Yup... when the map is to a larger scale, a lot more detail can be
added... and places of interest are more likely to show up... :)
