To turn the metaphor into an analogy, the most clarifying statement would be:
"Every road was connected, and each was harder to traverse than the one before it."
This statement explains how the backroads are interrelated and implies that navigating them is increasingly challenging, thereby enhancing the understanding of the original metaphor about the roads being an elaborate web.
