Steuben County routes are posted routes. The numbers are assigned sequentially to the Towns, arranged alphabetically, in which each route more or less lies (usually at one of its termini). These groupings are here shown as sub-headings. Numbers above 103, as well as CR 79, do not fit into this pattern. In addition, the Towns of Erwin, Thurston and Wheeler are not accounted for in this scheme.

The relatively large number of county routes is accounted for both by the County's size and moderately high density of county-maintained highways. Most of the primary through roads belong to the County, while the Towns have responsibility for many smaller, often unpaved, roads. Most of the routes carry a single name throughout their length; however, most of these names are quite unwieldy and the routes are usually referred to by number.

In the "Towns" column, Villages and CITIES are also listed. In no case do any county routes wholly enter the Cities of Corning or Hornell, and very few enter any Village.
