Much of Portland is a grid, and fairly easy to navigate. Portland is divided into five sectors, sometimes referred to oxymoronically as the "five quadrants". These quadrants are roughly divided by Burnside Street between north/south and the Willamette River between east/west, with a fifth sector (North) between the Willamette River and Williams Avenue. If you hear Portlanders talking about Southwest or Northeast, they're probably talking about a sector of the town rather than Arizona or Massachusetts.
• SW- South of Burnside and west of the Willamette River, this sector includes the downtown core.
• SE- South of Burnside and east of the Willamette River.
• NE- North of Burnside and east of Williams Avenue.
• N- North of Burnside, east of the Willamette River and west of Williams Avenue.
• NW- North of Burnside and west of the Willamette River, this sector is immediately north of downtown and includes the Pearl District, Old Town, and the Northwest district
