The only good listings I've ever seen are in that spate of county histories
published in the 1870's and 1880's. The WPA histories sometimes do also, picking
up as they did from those histories I mentioned. It's rather like the
progression of roads (i.e. "state" and "county" highways) in the 20th century
and wondering when what roads were made when. I have found the greatest source
for local road construction for our county is the Board of Supervisors Minutes.
