I work road construction and I will tell you what we use them for. When there is any kind of maintenance done on the roads, they are used to tell a start and stop point for that work. Very rare the whole road is fixed at once, so this tells us where to go. Look at the bottom number. Usually a new county will line will start with the number 1000. Then the number will increase by a tenth each time. The middle number is the county code, and the top number is the road number you are on. On two lane roads the even numbers are on one side and the odd numbers are on the other side. On four lane roads,such as interstates, the numbers are all on the right. Your state DOT uses them as well.
Also, if you happen to have an emergency, or need a wrecker for a broken down vehicle you can get pretty close on telling emergency people where you are. In my opinion, mile markers are not a hinder, but a very big help.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
