In most states they at least mention the name of the county (though we
obviously wouldn't do this on maps); Wisconsin may be alone in leaving
it off. Some counties (usually those that started signing routes
before the now-standard blue pentagon was created) have very different
designs, especially in New York (example:

Good to know. If they used the same pattern everywhere, just changing
the name, I would still be in favor of simply recording that it was a
county highway, but since different counties within a state use entirely
different signs I stand corrected. It is useful to have the county name
in the network tag.
Perhaps it would be useful to make a wiki page documenting which states
and counties have “non-standard” signs?
