[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 907758, member: 26998"] Thomas Jefferson mandated that all new states and territories would be laid out and surveyed in 1 mile quadrants. Road numbers are determined by county. All counties are divided on 2 axis that all numbers start from and all county roads will have the odd/even numbers on the same side of the road until it crosses an axis. Some counties use 500 and others use 1000 numbers to the mile. Towns, villages, and cities that maintain their own roads can and do have their own numbering systems which generally are based off axis which are mostly two main roads that cross each other. Know your number breaks and jurisdictions where numbers change and how many numbers to the mile. If you have a 10th wheel on your odometer and numbers are 1000 to the mile, 1500 Podunk rd will be a half mile from the corner where the number breaks. For some reason around my neck of the woods, if you build a new home the power company determines your house number. [/QUOTE]
