I have seen it put places out in the ocean. Just in case somebody reading this has seen counties in Australia: In Victoria, where I live, the County is a Crown Lands unit, of no relevance to addressing. It is subdivided into Parishes. County Councils do exist in NSW, and they look after things like the electricity supply, but they are never used in the U.S. fashion. I have no experience of the other states. Doug.
