[edit] Listing U.S. Highways

What's wrong with listing U.S. Highways on the State Highways Pages? The lists were kept seperate from the State Highway lists, and some of those U.S. Highway numbers are now decommissioned, which added some extra information to the lists. If you don't want them listed on the state pages, where do you suggest they should be listed?

(from 68.188.159.93 (talk • contribs))

My concern here is about the distinction between State Highways and US Highways. If the list is a list of State highways, that means the roads were designed, built, funded, and maintained by the state, and not the federal government. Listing US Highways there is not appropriate, unless there is some reason to do so (as there is with California). The way I would expect things to work is similar to the Nevada page, where there is a Transportation section that says:
Nevada also is served by several federal highways: US-6, US-50, US-93, US-95 and US-395. There are also 189 Nevada State Highways.
This clearly shows that there are federal highways and directs the reader to a comprehensive list of state highways. If there are more federal highways than can be listed succintly, there might then be need for a seperate Transportation in Nevada or List of U.S. Highways in Nevada page. Here, I don't think it is appropriate because of the short list. Note that I do not object to listing the US Highways on pages like List of Nebraska numbered highways, because that page does not limit the origin of the roadways. I hope this is clear. Thanks for talking with me about this. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Maple Grove Township, Cheboygan County, Michigan

You recently added information about a Maple Grove Township in Cheboygan County, Michigan. Can you provide any documentation in support of this? This lists "Maple Grove" as a civil division of Cheboygan County, but the previous page doesn't list it as a township. And [1] doesn't list anything for Maple Grove. The only mention I came across was an 1928 obituary. older≠wiser 15:38, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
