Just looking at those old PA DOT maps, does "unimproved" mean
"unsealed" (what we call gravel/dirt/non-blacktop roads here)?
Yep. Actually, unsealed roads can be a step above gravel - in towns
here in New Jersey, gravel will be spread on side roads, and cars
simply compact that by driving - no sealing. This was the practice in
my old neighborhood, and may have changed, but unimproved really means
unpaved.
That works best with limestone or other crushed soft rock. I've been up
in St. Louis County, MN (Duluth and the Iron Range) where the crushed
rock is, if I recall correctly, granite. It never seems to compact.
