And then out of the cities, we have names like County Road West 1230 North.  
(The west end of an east-west road 12.3 miles north of the courthouse.)  

Having grown up on graph paper, I'm rather surprised that I didn't have any
trouble navigating during our thirty years west of Albany, New York, where
all the roads twist and wind, and there's usually only one way to get from
here to there.

It helped a lot that there were three transmission towers on the hill above
my house.
