Interesting, this is a different definition of pipestem than what I'm
familiar with. Pipestems as I know them (at least in Fairfax County,
Virginia, USA), are a shared driveway leading to two or more houses.
The houses on a pipestem are jointly responsible for maintaining the
road themselves.
I think that was the case with these roads until the state took them
over. See the law's references to property owners dedicating right-of-way.

West Virginia actually maintains and numbers these "pipestems" under the
"Home Access Route Program" (example:

Before they were given to the state in the 1990s, they were "orphan roads"
that were open to the public but not maintained by any government:

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same thing.
