Washington County is a 1970 album by the American folk singer Arlo Guthrie.

[8] Contributing to Magnet, Bar/None owner Glenn Morrow called the album "remarkably eclectic".

He praised "Gabriel's Mother's Highway Ballad #16 Blues", writing that it "wraps around the listener like a sonic temple—a place of peace and well-being, bracing out the cold winds of a hostile world".

[9] "Gabriel's Mother's Highway Ballad #16 Blues" was later included on the 1977 compilation The Best of Arlo Guthrie.

A cover version of it became the title track of the 1972 Franciscus Henri album Gabriel's Mother's Highway.
