Hi,
Using the base map you can see that this road leads to a farm (the homestead [ranch] has the name Wyoming) - so it is not 'unclassified' but 'service'.
Also the base map contains road names .. you can see this one has no name so noname=yes is a suitable tag. Note you must zoom in to say a 50m scale in JOSM to see the road names - and you need to pan around the road to check it too. And some roads change their name - so best to check at both road ends for the same name. -

Hi Warin61,
Thank you for the advise on tagging, especially as it relates to homesteads and service roads.
I am at times apprehensive to use the noname=yes tag as I'm unsure if a road actually has no name in reality, or if it has a name but we are unable corroborate it with a resource at the moment. Is it proper mapping etiquette on OSM to put noname=yes if we don't have a resource with the road name, even if a name might be added later? -
Comment from Warin61
Any unnamed road could have a name added later. All 'we' have is the LPI Base Map (unless you survey .. and even than the sign could have been removed) so I use that .. and I also tag source:noname=LPI Base Map Feb 2018, This is the truth .. and 'we' can do no more. Adding fixmes all around the place just clutters the data base. If you know some thing is in error but not certain of what it should be than I'd use a fixme, otherwise an note or a comment depending on how much attention you want to attract.

Warin61,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! This information will be very useful, and hopefully make me a better OSM mapper moving forward!
