Hugh, I know what you mean there, and when I lived in Maryland, you couldnt instruct someone to go north or south, as ther wasnt a straight road to be had as the settlers just blazed a path on the path of least resistance. Even on flat land there were some of the most crooked roads I have ever seen. The best street layout system I ever saw was in Miami Fla, where Flagler St. and Miami Ave was the center point and everything ran in quadrants NW, NE, SW and SE. Streets and Terraces ran east and west, and Avenues and Places ran north and south. A first grader could find SW 8th St at 27th Ave.Bythe mid 50"s when developers began laying out all the cul-de sacs, and winding streets where nobody could find their way out of if they ever found their way in. The latter day planners couldn"t leave well enough alone and expand a perfect system as layed out by the city founders.
