Most of the road was used well into the nineteeth and often, the twentieth century. Some of the road has become state road, for example in Glover, it became Vermont Route 16. In other places, it is unmaintained, for example in Barton, it leaves Maple Hill Road and becomes a "class 4" (town owned, but not maintained) road until it gets to the golf course.

In Brownington, it is a major route and known by the historic name.
