Our county has a grid system for addresses.  I would like to add a grid to my map that shows that information.   I know that our 0,0 coordinate for the grid would be 41.54978, -87.336475. On East-West streets 330' feet will equal 100. For North-South streets 660' feet will equal 100.  I think I would have to create a custom geographic coordinate system with the above formula and use that when I create a new grid in my data frame properties.  How would I go about doing that?  I have tried using a fishnet and I haven't gotten any closer to a usable result.

All I know is instead of using latitudes and longitudes and distances, you should just use the underlying PLSS corner points, to keep on track. That's what I was doing in https://www.jidanni.org/geo/house_numbering/grids/define.html

but I'm not an ESRI customer so don't know if ARC could do better...
