Rob L,
My understanding comes from working in development both on the land and housing sides over the past 35 years. It's about peddling dirt and what makes it sell.
As per the land developers intent, that's pretty clear from the dimensions selected for these lots. The parcels size were of various typical desired size for housing developers in those days. Back when they liked to build everything on a grid pattern. A potential housing developer could buy two lots or more of these dimensions and subdivide them into a neighborhood. These aren't fly by the seat of their pants dimension selections. They work out to very precise single family home lot dimensions of the day when divided up.
The scale of these developments are simply astounding but none the less they are simply larger versions of what was common in those days.
Anyhow the intent becomes self evident when you look into the address designations given to these lots when applied for. Just go take a look at them, call the county and ask them why the addresses are applied the way they are to these long parcels.
