A similar scheme exists in the Antelope Valley region (the northernmost part of Los Angeles County, including the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale). Beginning at the Kern County line, where Avenue A literally runs right along the border, the lettered avenues are spaced exactly one mile apart. In between are, as needed, names such as Avenue J-6. It works out that Avenue L is at the south end of Lancaster and Avenue P runs through the middle of Palmdale (although there are both a Lancaster Blvd. and a Palmdale Blvd., squeezed in halfway between Avenues H and I and Avenues Q and R, respectively). This continues logically through Avenue Z, which exists as unpaved roads in a corner of the Valley near the San Bernardino County line, adjacent to the Angeles National Forest; for all practical purposes the last of these that is contiguous and paved is Avenue T east of Pearblossom Highway out to about seven miles shy of the county line.
Then the east-west streets are based on one mile spacing from Division St., which roughly marks where the railroad tracks come through the Valley (although it is imprecise because the tracks actually are on a slight northwest/southeast diagonal). 10th St. East -- note the directional at the end, as in the Salt Lake example -- is one mile east of Division St. 11th St. East is one-tenth of a mile east of Division St., and so on. This numbering scheme goes all the way east to the San Bernardino County line at 240th St. East, and west to the Ventura County line at 300th St. West.

Way to easy to get turned about, at least for me. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
