This is what I would design:
E-W streets north of center are numbered (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
E-W streets south of center are named for plants/flowers/trees alphabetically (Ash, Beech, Cedar)
N-S streets east of center are named for Presidents chronologically (Washington, Adams, Jefferson)
N-S streets west of center are named for the states chronologically (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey)
I like this idea, but how would you handle the Presidents with the same last names (e.g., Adams, Bush, Harrison, Johnson)? Include their initials or just skip over the duplicates?
I don’t know anywhere President names get beyond Polk. In Green Bay, the second Adams is Quincy St.
For Gratiot County, MI it goes
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Washington, Filmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson, Hayes, Grant, Garfield, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Taft. Not every single mile road is named after a President but that is the names they used. So that's 21 President's there.
For Michigan Governors it goes
Mason, Woodbridge, Barry, Ransom, McClelland, Wisner, Blair, Crapo, Baldwin, Bagley, Croswell, Jerome, Begole, Alger, Luce, Pingree, Bliss, Warner, Osborn, Ferris. So that's 20 Michigan Governor's there. Again not every single mile road is named after a Governor.
This county is about 23 miles by 24 miles so it's almost every mile.
