San Angelo gets up to 49th St
And i was thinking of how crazy NYC gets up to 263rd St pretty high huh
Yalls cities/towns?
McCall, ID- 4th St
Laramie WY- 30th St
Los Angeles also goes up to 263rd Street, but that's in Lomita actually.
SE 502nd Ave in metro Portland (beyond Sandy, Oregon, somewhere near US 26 in Clackamas County). High 300's/low 400's, IIRC, on the west end near Forest Grove.
The address grid itself, however, continues further east than 502nd. Along US 26 in Welches, on the base of Mt Hood, the addresses are up to 656xx; they theorectically go higher into Zigzag and Rhododendron, but the buildings aren't on necessarily on US 26 itself.
Along I-84/US 30, addresses are at the 625xx-650xx blocks in Dodson, beyond Multnomah Falls. The uppermost extremes are near Bonneville Dam at the 725xx range, just before the Multnomah/Hood River County Line.
And north, along US 30, the Portland address/block numbers go into the 500xx's through Scappoose and the southern end of St. Helens.

King County, WA, does have a 725th Ave (or something that high), along US 2.
there are six-digit street addresses in the extremities of San Bernardino County. Since it is the biggest county in the US, I can imagine it overflowing to six digits in its extremities. I am thinking of a number like 106xxx as a house number - remind me to find the photo that has the exact number!
Iowa's rural roads go up to 614th street, but are numbered by a statewide grid, it seems.
VA Beach, VA goes to 89th St
Myrtle Beach, SC goes to 82nd Ave N
180th Ave. East and 72nd Ave. West, according to Google Maps. There would be a 192nd Ave. East at the county line, but according to Google Maps, it's called "County Line Rd."
New York hits 263rd Street in the far northern reaches of the Bronx.
Metro Phoenix gos to 579th ave in the west and 142nd st in the east.
Birmingham goes up to 96th Street N
37 Mile Road for the Detroit Area.
What about the Salt Lake City metro area? I have no clue what it goes up to, but it must be pretty high considering its done in multiples of 100.
In New Orleans itself, I think 9th St is the highest numbered street. In the suburbs it goes as high as 45th in the eastbank suburbs and 37th in the westbank suburbs. The suburbs on the westbank also has Avenue A-Avenue M with letters going east to west and numbers going north to south.
In Amsterdam, New York, we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Streets in one part of town, and a 5th and 6th Avenue in another. Maybe we qualify for the smallest number of streets that someone decided needed to have numbers instead of names.
In my hometown of Bloomsburg, PA, it just goes up to 13th St.
Nashville, TN apparently tops out at 63rd Ave. N
Franklin, TN maxes out at 11th Ave N/S
Columbia, TN goes up to 18th St. and 6th Ave. - The funny thing here is both those Streets and Avenues go East-West. :banghead:
They're just in different parts of town.

W 15250 S in the suburb of Bluffdale.
The highest numbered street in the City of Atlanta is, I think, 28th Street NW, which is right off of Peachtree Road NW (U.S. 19/S.R. 9).

You're wrong, unfortunately. Middleville, Michigan has a First, Second, Third, and Sixth. And there's absolutely no pattern to how they're numbered! First is a north-south street, Second and Third are short east-west streets that intersect First, and Sixth is a north-south cul-de-sac. I want to know what the planners were thinking. :rolleyes:

Even more wrong than I thought - I completely forgot about a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Ave in yet another Amsterdam neighborhood. Which also explains why the two on the other end of town are 5th and 6th.
And at least ours are numbered consecutively where they exist..
Springfield, Missouri has to my knowledge exactly one numbered street: East 11th.

New York hits 263rd Street in the far northern reaches of the Bronx.
And while that is the northern extremity of the Manhattan/Bronx numbering scheme (highest avenue = 12th Av), other boroughs have their own schemes:
Queens main scheme: numbers increase north to south and west to east. The eastern extreme is 271st St (greater than 263rd by 8). The southern extreme is 165th Av.
Queens Rockaway scheme: numbers increase east to west. The western extreme is Beach 222nd St.
Queens cross bay scheme: cross streets in Broad Channel are numbered up to (West) 22nd Rd. There's also a 208th Av hanging down there anomalously (this is the highest numbered "Avenue" in New York City)
Brooklyn Main scheme: numbers increase north to south and west to east. The eastern extreme is 24th Av. The southern extreme is 101st St.
Brooklyn "Bay" scheme: streets perpendicular to the shore in Bath Beach and Bensonhurst are numbered from northwest to southeast up to Bay 56th St
Brooklyn Brighton Scheme: some streets in Brighton Beach are numbered west to east up to Brighton 15th St.
Brooklyn South Scheme:This is a complicated one. Running N/S in the middle, you have West St. West from there, streets are numbered up to West 37th St, and beyond that, Beach 37th through 49th Streets creep up around the western head of Coney Island. East of West St, streets are numbered up to East 108th St. Running E/W, you have letters instead of numbers... Avenues A through Z... except that Avenues A, B, D, E, F, G, and Q are instead named (Respectively) Albermarle Rd, Beverley Rd, Ditmas Av, Foster Av, Farragut Rd, Glenwood Rd, and Quentin Rd. Each matches its letter except Forster for E.
Also, the main place where you'd expect Avenue C is occupied by Clarendon Rd... but there
is an Avenue C west of there, so it's not absent.
Brooklyn Williamsburg scheme: Centered at Grand St, streets go north from there up to North 15th St and south from there up to South 11th St.
Staten Island Scheme: streets in New Dorp are numbered from northwest to southeast up to 10th St, but otherwise that's it.
A few additional notes about the Bronx: - No numbered avenues here, but "Third" Av is a continuation of 3rd Av in Manhattan, and Park Av is a continuation of... get this... Park Av.
- Jerome Av takes over the role of 5th Av as the disiving line between east and west. Many non-numbered streets which cross it also get divided as such. This also creates the interesting situation with Gun Hill Rd and Tremont Av (which stretch across the entire borough) where the west runs for only 6-12 blocks but the east stretches for several miles.
- The scheme east of the Harlem River starts to lag behind the Manhattan Scheme. As a consequence, the highest numbered street is West 263rd St, but East 243rd St is as far up as the east streets go.
- the numbered streets typically stick to the western half or the borough, but tucked way over in a corner Pelham Bay are two blocks of E 194th St and a single block of E 195th, East 196th, and East 197th Streets. Just 'cause.
As for my other Hometown, Stamford, CT.... there are no numbered streets per se, but there are First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Streets.
Eugene, Oregon stops at 53rd Avenue in the South Hills area.
My original hometown of Forest Grove, OR has a really anomalous numbering system--it goes up to about 37th or 38th (they've just added some in a new subdivision on the north end of town). However, the actual lowest street number is 9th. Originally, Pacific Avenue (OR-8, the main east-west drag) used to split the numbered streets into a hemisphere system. North 1st was one block north, South 1st was one block south--used to be on the sidewalks before they replaced them.
For some odd reason--I'm not sure when they did it--they changed the block numbering system such that the intersection of Main Street and Pacific Avenue was the 2000 block for both streets, and as result, North 1st became 21st and South 1st became 19th. They must have thought they were going to expand to the south, which was clearly a foolish assumption, as it's basically all wetlands and flood plain down there. Also, stupidly, they made the numbers go down toward the west, and all the development in town has been on the northwest side, whereas if they were to go to the east, they'd have to annex Cornelius.

SE 502nd Ave in metro Portland (beyond Sandy, Oregon, somewhere near US 26 in Clackamas County). High 300's/low 400's, IIRC, on the west end near Forest Grove.
The highest I recall seeing out here was around 389th or so. Most of the really high-numbered streets on the west side are basically glorified gravel driveways. The highest "legitimate" street I'm aware of is SW 345th Avenue, which is just east of the Cornelius City Limits. North Plains converted to the Portland numbering system sometime in the 1990s, so you've got a bunch of streets in the 310s and 320s downtown.
The numbering grid gets a bit messed up in the Hillsboro area, as Hillsboro has its own numbering system that also runs north-south like Portland's--i.e. SE 63rd is one block west of SW 231st.

Both Gresham and Hillsboro overlay their own grid/address system over the Portland Metro system, making for some interesting prefix jumps (SE Division to NW Division to NE Division back to SE Division, for example).
Interestingly enough, while everyone is familiar with the five Portland grid divisions (N, NW, SW, SE, NE), based off of the Willamette River, Burnside St (and Stark west of Burnside ending at Barnes) and Williams Ave, there is a sixth, bounded by the Clackamas River: S. This applies mainly to the area east and south of Oregon City (which has its own grid).
Las Vegas, NV goes up to 30th Street, and has both a Main Street and a 1st Street. On this numbered grid, 2nd St was renamed Casino Center Blvd, 5th St was renamed Las Vegas Blvd (near downtown), Maryland Pkwy follows most of the 12th St alignment, and Eastern Ave runs along portions of what is/was 25th St.
Reno, NV has numbered streets that reach 15th Street, although the numbers go up to 17 unofficially. The University of Nevada, Reno signs some of its roadways as 15th, 16th, and 17th Streets, but these are not city streets. 4th Street has the distinction of being old US 40, while parts of Interstate 80 near downtown run right along 8th Street (or where 8th should be).
Sparks, NV goes up to 22nd Street, although these run north/south whereas Reno's numbered streets are east/west. In the Sparks grid, 8th St was renamed Pyramid Way (SR 445) and Rock Blvd runs along parts of the 15th and 17th St alignments.
Sparks also has lettered streets, ranging from A Street to P Street. Letters Q through T are assigned to Quail St, Richards Way, Sawyer Way and Tasker Way instead of having individual letters. Greenbrae Drive lies along what should be N Street, and what used to be B Street is now named Victorian Avenue and used to be old US 40. Interstate 80 is adjacent to parts of A Street, with other parts of the freeway built on top of the former street.
Cleveland:
East side, I believe gets up to the East 360th-some range...
West Side only goes up as high as West 241st Street or so.
Odd factoid: West 130th Street is the longest numbered street in the Cleveland area...Running North/South some 20+ miles from Lorain Avenue in Cleveland to just east of I-71 Exit 222 @ SR-3.
Baton Rouge's main numbered sequence of north-south streets starts at 3rd and goes up to 49th (1st to 50th historically). Also there is another sequence in the Scotlandville area that follows east-west streets which begins at 68th and extends to 79th.
First Street was renamed Front Street and later River Road; Second Street was renamed Lafayette Street in 1825 to commemorate the visit of the Marquis de Lafayette that year. Fourth Street was originally called Church Street. Many of the numbered streets were given their current names in the 1920s when the city of BR rationalized its street names to eliminate naming duplications.
Major pet peeve of mine: A good many of the north-south numbered streets officially have a "North" prefix despite not having a corresponding "South" segment (since they do not extend south of North Blvd, or their logical extensions have different names). The only streets with a "South" segment are 10th-22nd excepting S. 13th which was renamed after Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson.
In the city of Detroit, from 1st to 35th streets.
Let's see here, starting with Minneapolis, in the south, the E-W streets are numbered Xth St from 1 to 62 and then further south up to Rice County where it stops at 330th St. North of Glenwood Ave, the N-S boundary, it goes up to 57th or so, and then through to Anoka county, stopping at 149th Ave. However, on the east side of the Mississippi, the E-W numbers follow from a point originating in old Saint Anthony Falls, so 44th Ave N west of the Mississippi is parallel to 37th Ave NE on the east. North of Minneapolis, the numbers extend to 421st Ave NW (west of Central Ave, that is) on the border of Isanti and Kanabec Counties.
With St. Paul, there are no numbers outside of the downtown area, but adjacent to the west, north, and south, the E-W streets start from I-94/Hudson Rd to 520th St in the south and 540th St in the north.
Long explanation short: Three different numbering systems for E-W streets for the Twin Cities, the highest numbered street placed exactly 54 miles north of I-94.
The winner in the area, though, goes to Pierce County, Wisconsin, who starts numbering their N-S streets on the eastern border and increases by 40 per mile compared to 10 per mile in the St. Paul enumeration. So just north of Prescott, WI overlooking the Mississippi River lies 1323rd St. I haven't checked, but I believe the house numbers in Pierce County have one less digit, so there are no six-digit addresses there as far as I know.
In Sacramento, the easternmost street (north-south) is 88th Street (which is actually not in the city limits), though the contiguous grid only really lasts from 2nd near the river (Front being where 1st would be) all the way out to 65th or 66th. 31st Street is skipped as it was renamed Alhambra Boulevard (for a now-defunct theater) in the 1930s.
The numbered avenues begin just south of Broadway, in the northern part of the Land Park neighborhood; the southernmost number is 69th Avenue, a short residential route off of 24th Street in the Meadowview.

San Francisco has two major numbered grids...
The avenues (which is another moniker for the Sunset and Richmond neighborhoods that use this grid) which begins at 2nd Avenue near Golden Gate Park (Arguello Boulevard being where 1st Avenue is) all the way to 48th Avenue (La Playa Street being the name for what would be 49th Avenue, near the ocean).
The numbered streets - which cover the South of Market, Potrero Hill, Noe Valley, China Basin and Mission neighborhoods - start with 1st Street in South of Market and end at 30th Street in the Mission; 3rd Street interestingly intersects most of the higher-numbered streets in the area as it becomes an out-of-grid major thoroughfare south past Pac Bell Park.
---
The Oakland/Berkeley east-west numbered street grid starts at 2nd Street (the ostensible 1st Street being the Embarcadero) and ends at 67th Street a block or two south of Ashby Avenue. Strangely enough, north of Ashby and west of San Pablo Avenue, Berekley has a north-south numbered street section of its own not related to the former, from 2nd (Eastshore Highway (the old US 40/Route 17) being where 1st would have been) to 10th.
---
San Jose's north-south numbered streets start at 1st (a very long thoroughfare that includes parts of Route 82) and end at 34th, a block west of King Road.
I live in a small town. I believe it goes up to 8th St. They are all within a mile of one another, however.
Salt Lake City (which actually belongs to the grid system of Salt Lake County) goes as high as around 16000 South south of Bluffdale (locals would call this 160th South, which would be 160 blocks south of Temple Square). However, in the north it only goes as high as 33rd North, west to 92nd West and east to around 40th East. Our system is incredibly easy to navigate, once you get the hang of it.
Jackson has no numbered streets. :no: Meridian and Hattiesburg have them, but I'm not sure how high they go (though it may be 40th Street, which serves as a dividing line between Forrest and Lamar counties).
Numbered streets? In Boston? Ha.
Richmond has two sets of numbered streets - as I mentioned once in another thread, there is one set north of the James and another set south of it. The numbered streets in south Richmond were a holdover from when it was part of the city of Manchester (which merged with Richmond long ago).
North Richmond goes up to 39th Street (prefixed with north and south), and south Richmond goes up to 49th Street (prefixed with east and west, even though the streets run north-south for the most part).
I think I just found the highest numbered streets in the country: N 3000th Ave at E 3100th St, just southeast of Augusta, IL.

The odd thing about these is how rapidly they ascend. I'm thinking they moreless translate to 300th and 310th.
The Palmdale/Lancaster area goes up to at least Ave. 120 or so. And in between those are Ave. A-S.
The city of Indianapolis goes up to 96th street, but Hamilton county continues the numbering system all the way to 296th street.
Currently, I live in a city with no street grid, although nearby Indialantic, FL goes up to 14th. In Miami though, the highest I could find on Google Maps was SW 424th St.
I previously lived in Lafayette, IN. There the highest in the city grid was 36th St, and beyond that it was on the typical Indiana county numbering system in increments of 100.
Baltimore goes up to 43rd St., but mind you we start at 20th St. I think they count the streets south of North Av.
I once thought Ft Smith only went into the low 90's, but I recently discovered up to 106 in a remote, hoity toity part of town
Lincoln is getting pretty close to getting into the triple digit streets. Those streets already exist outside the city limits-they go up to 190th street in the county.
What's interesting about the highest numbered streets question is that it has changed a lot in recent years in many places due to most rural roads now having names or numbers that used to not have any. Triple digit street numbers used to be seen only in large cities and counties. Now some mostly rural counties have triple digit road numbers depending on what number they choose to begin with.
The highest numbered street in Chicagoland is 248th Avenue in western Will County. However, the Chicago street numbering system based off State and Madison continues to the Will/Kendall and Will/Kankakee County lines. 248th Avenue is 31 miles west of State Street (8 blocks to the mile).

I guess 53rd Ave North is highest number that way.
EDIT: I guess they skip 97th, but I found a 98th and a 99th Street North via Mapquest.

c is just a constant. In some measurement systems, c = 1.
Philadelphia: down by the airport goes up to 90th St for N/S streets.
In extreme North Phila, strangely, the E/W streets start up at 64th Ave and go up to 80th Ave. OF course, there is no 14th St, that space is filled by Broad St.
Near Seattle and in general in Washington, the streets are laid out in a grid where xx ST is E-W and xx AVE is N-S. It also hinges on some center point -- a compass direction is very typically attached to the name - before the Aves (NW 136th Ave, for example) and after the Streets (122nd St SE, for example). Names besides ST and AVE are not used much, and are typically used for minor streets. For example, you'll have a 136th ST and a 136th PL right next to each other. I particularly enjoy when the same-numbered roads meet: in Kirkland, NE of Seattle, the intersection of NE 124th Ave and 124th St NE is not an insignificant intersection. Explaining directions to folks that come from places where the "Ave" and "St" are typically dropped is a fun time.
I wouldn't say that's generally the case in Washington. Outside of King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties, there isn't much in the way of large grids of numbered streets. Thurston County has a few numbered streets outside of Olympia proper, but interestingly there, it's the avenues that run east-west.
In my home county of Whatcom, there's no numbered street grid, and while there is some use of compass directions, it isn't always used, and there are a number of different "zero" points. There is one set of numbered streets in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham, ranging from 4th (presumably there used to be more streets at the waterfront) to 48th.
More interesting to me in Bellingham is that there are at least 4 different sets of streets that are named in alphabetical order. The lettered streets (A St, B St, C St, etc); Astor, Bancroft, Clinton... Nicklin; Cornwall, Dean, Ellis... Yew; and Forest, Garden, High... Pasco.
Clark County Washington makes major use of the numbered street grid. The avenues can almost be lined up with their Portland counterparts (164th Ave in Washington is about a quarter mile west of 162nd in Oregon). And a lot of the streets are numbered as well, making for potential 117th Ave at 117th St.
Kent County, MI has mile roads that run north of downtown Grand Rapids up to the county line at 22 Mile Road. South of downtown though, there are numbered streets, 8 to a mile. The southern county line is 108th St. The "0 Mile Road" would appear to be Michigan Avenue in Grand Rapids, although 1 Mile and 2 Mile aren't numbered. Fulton Street appears to be the 0th St., leaving a gap of about a 1/2 mile not in either system. (North of 28th isn't numbered either.)
Columbus only goes up to 26th Ave. and 23rd St., but those are just little fragments. We don't really use a standardized numbered street system. Cleveland, though, goes into the low 300s with their streets.
I forgot that Brooklyn, MD has numbered streets, too. It only goes to 10, and there's no 1st St., though I think Hanover St. took the place of that street.
Detroit goes from 1st to 52nd Street, but some numbers are skipped (for example Rosa Parks Boulevard would be 12th).
Ecorse, MI goes from 1st to 19th Street.

There's a good historical reason why 12th got removed from the numbering system. It might be better to remember it, IMHO.

The highest numbered street in the City of Atlanta is, I think, 28th Street NW, which is right off of Peachtree Road NW (U.S. 19/S.R. 9).
Meanwhile, the lowest is 3rd Street. Were North Avenue and Ponce de Leon ever 1st and 2nd Streets, or have those numbers always been missing?
326th Street here in Toledo (Point Place - near the Ohio/Michigan border).

The address grid itself, however, continues further east than 502nd. Along US 26 in Welches, on the base of Mt Hood, the addresses are up to 656xx; they theorectically go higher into Zigzag and Rhododendron, but the buildings aren't on necessarily on US 26 itself.
Along I-84/US 30, addresses are at the 625xx-650xx blocks in Dodson, beyond Multnomah Falls. The uppermost extremes are near Bonneville Dam at the 725xx range, just before the Multnomah/Hood River County Line.
And north, along US 30, the Portland address/block numbers go into the 500xx's through Scappoose and the southern end of St. Helens.
Addendum: US 30's highest address is around the environs of 750xx, near Rainier, just after US 30 turns the corner to go south.
Also, OR 47 north of US 26 follows the Portland street grid. The northern most addresses (around Mist, IIRC) are in the 750s. My guess is that the 0 is on the East-West axis (so, the Willamette River, go west on say the Sunset), then switches in Buxton at the northern end of the US 26/OR 47 duplex.
Birth City (Oshkosh, WI) up to 35th Ave
Princeton, WI (lived there) 4th St
Sheboygan, WI (lived there) 49th St
Bolingbrook IL (currently living there) I live on what used to be called 107th St. 127th St had been the highest, before it was renamed Reagan Blvd., which is carried from the Chicago grid. and 248th Ave is nearby also from the Chicago grid system.
Manistee, MI south of the Manistee River: 28th St
First St does not run directly on the river except near Lake Michigan. Also, 19th and 20th are skipped.
Manistee, MI north of the Manistee River: 6th Ave
6th Ave runs along the Manistee River, with 5th being north of 6th.

However, to the south, off the Chicago grid, the numbers keep going to the Kankakee County line. As from what I see, you're on Lily Cache (lived in BBK from 91 to 2000). When did 127th become Reagan Blvd? I always thought it was Normantown Rd. BTW, Bolingbrook extends down past 135th Street to IL-126 and Essington Rd.
Will County (rural and some municipalities like Plainfield) uses the Chicago grid for the addressing system. It's a sight better than rural DuPage County's system (also based off State and Madison). An address in Will: 19101 South Essington Rd. The same type of address in DuPage: 16W251 Frontage Rd. GPS and Mapquest tend to barf back the DuPage addressing system.
One fun fact about this part of Chicagoland to remember is that most roads have several names that get used often enough. Renwick Rd is also known as 159th St is also known as IL-7 is also known as Thornton Av. 135th St is also known as Romeo Rd. 119th St is also known as Fergusson Rd and also by the idiotic Rodeo Dr bestowed on it by a certain mayor of Bolingbrook. Etc, etc.

Los Angeles also goes up to 263rd Street, but that's in Lomita actually.
Actually it goes up to 266th St. In the Harbor City section of Los Angeles.

Colorado Springs, Colorado goes up to 36th Street, but there's only a few numbered streets down in the southwestern corner of town. Except for 1st through 7th streets, for whatever reason; they're several miles to the northeast. The numbered streets in the southwest start at 8th Street.

You are correct, Brandon. I do live on Lily Cache about 1 block east of Jane Addams. I am also aware of the various names for the former numbered streets. BTW, I believe that Mayor Roger has a phobia of numbered streets. All of the name changes within Bolingbrook except for Lily Cache have taken place while he has been mayor. But i also think he is saving 115th St for himself when he retires or loses a mayor election. Also, what is now Remington Blvd at Rt 53 used to be 111th St to where it used to end at Naperville Rd (now Veterans Pkwy).

In southeast Will County, there is Indiana Ave (303rd St), Corning Rd (311th St), Kentucky Rd (319th St), and Delite Inn Rd (323rd St)
In St. Charles, IL, streets are numbered using avenues going east from the river and streets going west, and it goes up to 14th Ave and 19th St. But then there's the random 37th Ave and 38th Ave on the way east side of town without any numbers between 14th and 37th...
Fort Scott (pop. 8,000-ish) goes up to 23rd in order, then skips to 25th, which is just entrances for two businesses. I don't know why there's not a 24th. There used to be a 30th St. on the map but it has since be renamed for what it is in the county grid, Jayhawk Road.
Pittsburg, KS, goes up to 32nd. But the streets higher than 29th aren't very long.
Garden City stops at Thirteenth and Dodge City goes to Sixteenth. Both cities insist on spelling out the numbers. So does Chanute with the exception of 36th Parkway, which is its highest-numbered street for now.
Wichita's street grid is extended to the extremes of the county, which makes the highest number in Sedgwick County the Kingman County line, which would be 407th St. West. But I don't know if that road actually carries the Sedgwick County name or the Kingman County name. Yahoo maps lists it as the Kingman County name, 170th Ave. There is a 391st West that has an exit at U.S. 54.
Of note about Wichita is that where 4th through 7th streets north are called other names. Central is what would be 4th. Elm is what would be 5th, Pine is what would be 6th and Murdock is what would be 7th. Numbered streets aren't called xxth North until you get to about 37th North and don't begin in any other direction until you are well out of downtown (even farther when it's xxth East or xxth West).
Kansas City, Mo's grid is extended through several counties, including ones in Kansas (except Wyandotte). I think the only other county the KCK grid goes into is Leavenworth County. The Miami-Linn county line is 407th St. Linn County briefly considered adopting the extended Kansas City, Mo. grid before deciding to use its own. Had Linn County used the KCMO grid, the Linn-Bourbon county line would probably have been 599th St.
In Rockford IL:
The numbered east-west avenues range from 1st to 23rd
The numbered north-south streets range from 1st to 35th (although 32nd, 33rd, and 34th are missing)

In New Orleans itself, I think 9th St is the highest numbered street. In the suburbs it goes as high as 45th in the eastbank suburbs and 37th in the westbank suburbs. The suburbs on the westbank also has Avenue A-Avenue M with letters going east to west and numbers going north to south.
Speaking of the suburbs:
Covington goes from 1st Avenue to 35th Avenue, Franklinton goes from 7th Avenue to 21st Avenue and Bogalusa goes from 1st to 19th streets (they also use the alphabet).
Seattle (King County) uses a county wide grid system, for the most part. The exceptions are in towns that have their own numbering systems, such as Renton. The numbers start in Seattle and increase in each direction from Seattle to the limits of King County. In general, the streets and avenues are divided into four main quadrants; NW, NE, SW, and S/SE and have these directional abbreviations attached to the street/avenue number.
Highest northern numbered E/W Street in King County is NW/N/NE 205th street which is on the county line with Snohomish County. This street has two numbers. The south side of the street is 205th while the north side is numbered 244th Street as part of the Snohomish County Street grid system.
The highest southern numbered E/W Street in King County is SE 487th Street near the town of Enumclaw in the SE part of the county.
The highest eastern numbered N/S Avenue in King County is 762nd Avenue NE near the town of Skykomish in the NE part of the county.
The highest western numbered N/S avenue in King County is 147th Avenue SW at the west end of Vashon Island in Puget Sound, north of Tacoma.
City of Tulsa: 65th West Ave., 65th Pl. North, 193rd East Ave., 121st St. South.
Tulsa County: 271st West Ave., 186th St. North, 193rd East ave., 211th St. South.
Osage, Rogers, Wagoner and Okmulgee counties continue the Tulsa County street numbering grid for a few miles, as the city continues to spread out, but Creek County continues the Tulsa County grid throughout the county to the south and west, with 561st West Ave. as the western county line, and 361st St. South as the southern.
Kenosha County, Wisconsin is interesting, it has a county-wide numbering system but there's no N/S/E/W because 1st St is on the county line with Racine County and 1st Ave is on the lakeshore. Therefore, the highest number for east/west streets is 128th St on the WI/IL state line (which is called Russell Rd on the Illinois side and further west State Line Rd) and the highest north/south avenue is 408th Ave in Powers Lake on the county line with Walworth County.
Near Newry MN, the numbered streets go up to 340th St and 900th Ave.

Long Beach goes up to 72nd Street.
The Los Angeles numbering plan exists, detached from the rest of the grid by six miles or more, in Artesia/Cerritos, from 160th to 195th Streets.
A couple of curiosities in Orange County, CA:
Fountain Valley has two very short streets numbered 2nd and 3rd. Where 1st would be is a drainage channel, and it doesn't look like there was ever a street there. Their location corresponds to what was probably the original development in the area.
Garden Grove has 7th, 8th and 9th Streets, but nothing lower, although what would correspond to 1st Street seems to be Main Street.
Already mentioned, but I have some more details: Columbus has 2nd St through 22nd St, and 1st Ave through 26th Ave. We have intersections of 4th & 4th, 5th & 5th, and 6th & 6th. The longest continuous numbered streets appear to be 5th Ave, followed by 4th St.

Not very high here in the Dallas area. The highest I can think of is N.W. 28th Street in Ft. Worth.
Highest I've seen is 359th Street south of Kansas City on the Kansas side on US 69. Google Maps shows an exit for 399th Street:

My hometown, Shreveport, LA has a sections of town that goes from 59th street to 86th street. Except for a few numbered streets (first thru sixth, I believe) near the downtown area, there are no 1-58. Unless they were all renamed because where 60th street begins is about the 6000 block of Line Avenue and Linwood Avenue and those streets
In Denton, TX where I live now, we only have 1st 2nd and 3rd streets, and they are tiny residential streets just out from the square
