In the rural area were I live and work, all the county roads are named by letters. Numbers identifies the State highways. While the town roads are known to be named by words and names. Sometimes a town road will be named after a famous resident, a locations or places. It takes a while to get accustomed to this way of naming and identifying roads, streets and highways but over time it seems to be a logical and a normal way to sort out all these winding country roads and quaint country names.
Today I was with some buyers in an area called Gillingham; we had just finished looking over a country farm. The next place on our list to view was just a few miles over to County E. We were able to determine from our map that if we just drove down County Z, it would be easy to get over to county E. So with that in mind, we took off to County Z, with out much more thought. As we traveled a few miles down Z until we could reached E, we soon realized it was not that easy to get from Z over to E. We somehow, on a curve, got lost and ended up on A. We never did figure out how we went from Z to A!! Welcome to the country!

Don, it does get confusing, thanks for commenting
OK, now you are confusing me, are the roads numbered too?
Your Friend in Charlottesville Virginia!
Sharon: Yes that is very true, many maps are not correct either.
Mary, Even when the roads are easily navigated I get lost so I don't envy you!!! I live in a rural area and I have had to learn it over time. Only time. I've told my hubby we can't ever move or I would never find the house again! This gives you a good excuse to take your clients out again! Go sell something! Later in the rain~Deb
