Just had the same happen to my wife and I. We were working in the middle of 50 acres of woods we have on the Tug Hill Plateau, New York. All of sudden, an army of four wheelers came racing in -on OUR road. I stopped them and asked what they were doing there. They told me their GPS and map program shows our private road as as a town highway. I threw them out.
As to records at the courthouse or county clerk? Wrong place to look since town roads do not have to be recorded in deeds. Most states require all counties to have yearly "road inventories." County get them every year from each town. That inventory has to show the road total length, class, and width. If a town can prove they have claimed anything to be a road after X amount of years - it becomes a public road with no other paperwork involved. In my area of NY, it takes 10 years, but this can vary by state. Chances are, if the town never enters onto your road and does any maintenance, it's probably not a town road of any sort. On the other hand, if they do come in and do anything, it automatically becomes a town road after a certain amount of years if you don't stop them.
I'll add that in many states, once a road is a public road - it stays that way forever - regardless of maintenance - unless the town formally abandons that road.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
