Each Nike site had a prefix to identify the city it would defend. This was followed by numbers between 01 and 99, representing the site's direction from the city it defended. For example: BA-43 means the Nike site is mostly to the south and slightly to the east of Baltimore (compass heading 155°, 50 in the Nike numbering system meaning due south or 180°), and it was tasked with defending the Baltimore Area.
