Counties are how the Court system is set up, and thus why the rule to walk to and from the County Seat. Land Titles (deeds) are kept in such court houses, thus they are important. In the Mid West County Seats tend to be the largest City/Town in the county. They may be towns and cities closer, but my point was the FURTHEST one would have to walk is to the county seat. Thus in most of the US, counties are rarely wider then 20 miles, north-south, east-west. Most people can walk 20 miles in a day with ease.
