Lowest highways & freeways by state

Miles to the nearest Interstate.

Straight-line miles from the county's population-weighted centre to the nearest Interstate centreline. This is not driving distance and does not assert access to an interchange; local terrain, water and the road network can make the trip much longer. Interstate geometry and major route labels are drawn when a state is open. Alaska and Hawaii have no Interstate route in this source, so they are left without a value rather than assigned a fabricated zero.
