Guide and Map of the City of Memphis

Memphis Abstract Company (1908)


STREET INDEX

EXPLANATORY of STREET INDEX

The numbering scheme in this city for the streets running north and south is by a division at Madison avenue, beginning there at No. 1 and increasing in both directions, the streets north of Madison avenue using the prefix North and the streets south of same using the prefix South. Even numbers are on the east side, odd numbers on the west side.

For streets running east and west, Florida street is used as a dividing line and as this street extends only as far north as Calhoun avenue, streets lying north of Calhoun avenue drop the prefix east. Even numbers are on the north side and odd numbers on the south side. It is the intention that all streets running east and west shall be termed avenues and those running north and south termed streets. Numerous short streets are termed "places" or "courts."

The sectional city map, pages 49 to 94, show the corner numbers as far as they are contained in the records of the City Engineering Department. The numbers refer to the actual number that would be on the corner, though in many cases there is no house numbered to correspond.

The list of streets show the recent changes of names, the old names being placed in their regular alphabetical order and reference being made to the new name to which it is changed.
