McDowell Rd is paired with which address?

McDowell Rd is paired with which address?

• A. 17200S
• B. 1600N
• C. 3400N
• D. 12400S

Answer: (B)

Street-grid addressing uses a fixed northing value tied to major streets, with N or S indicating how far north or south you are from a baseline. McDowell Rd sits on the 1600 North line in this system, so the paired address is 1600N. The other numbers would place you on different grid lines far north or south and don’t match the McDowell Rd line, so they aren’t correct for this pairing.
