Northing and easting numbers represent Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates, which are horizontal and vertical positions on a global map grid. The northing value is the vertical position and the easting value is the horizontal location. This method of creating lines is often used by surveyors, who enter values to create layouts. Northing and easting values help you use known coordinates to draw maps more efficiently.
