Honestly, I think that's impossible to know--plenty of Native American tribes lived in villages/cities (as opposed to being nomadic), so at the very least there were paths within settlements and routes connecting them together. (If I remember correctly) one of my former architecture professors told me that Wall Street in NYC was built on top of an ancient Native American route. There are also some pretty impressive ruins of Aztec (etc) cities that I'm sure must have had roads.

If you're more interested in learning about paved, automobile-traveled roads, do a little research on the Lincoln Highway. It's got some neat history along the same lines as Route 66, and it's really interesting to see how much a transcontinental road could influence a nation's culture.
