This is crushed limestone. It's about 15 feet above the creek bed.
Mill Creek has been used for hydropower since the late 18th century; it would be logical for a road to run that way, and then be abandoned once they built US 11. The surveys mention that there's a 19th-century private roadway easement somewhere on the property, but local folklore had me thinking it was down the other end.
The doctor gets 10 points -- I did pull out a rotted railroad tie from the brush. I ignored it because the (current) mill owner uses them to edge parking lots.
