Nearby county has names like "Northeast 40th Avenue Road" and yes, there is also a Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest 40th Avenue Road, real pita.

We used to live at 18872 Northwest County Road 3360 in Navarro County, TX. And yes, there's Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest roads with the same numbers, so the direction is important. They're not nearly as original as most of these named roads. Of course to keep from having such a long line on envelopes, our address was usually written "18872 NW CR 3360".

A couple towns north, there is a road called "Ta Da Dump Rd".

Always wondered where it went.............

I don't know if this is unusual,but every where I've lived the NW,NE,SW etc. was in middle of address like you stated. Over here in this area of SW,Fla, the SW,NE etc is on the end.For instance 1111 11ST. SW.

Yep, Boone, it's that way in at least part of Oklahoma. My grandparents (and later my parents) in Ardmore, OK, had an address of "316 H St., NE".

But many years ago, we lived in Marlow, OK, where the north/south streets were numbered and the east/west streets were named for Indian tribes.

Where I grew up, we had Roast Meat Hill Road, Break Neck Hill Road, and High Taxes Road. When I move to SC, I'll be off of Mush Creek Road.
