County Trunk highways (also called County Highway, CTH, CR, or County Road) are a system of highways maintained at the county level or below in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is unique in that the state uses only letters as route designations for their county roads. Missouri uses letters, but the lettered highways are actually secondary state highways (having 2nd priority against numbered roads) instead of county roads.

Each county maintains its own system. A particular county may have routes in single letter (CTH-H), double letter (CTH-LL or CTH-AB) or triple letter (CTH-BBB).[1]

Every County maintains its own County Trunk Highway system. These may or may not be repeated, depending on the size, and population of the county.
