Capitalize compass points when they designate geographical parts of a country, region or city or when used as part of proper names to designate a world division.
Do not capitalize when used to indicate parts of the states or provinces.
Examples:
West India
north of California
No, west should not be capitalized if it is used in directions depending on the context of the sentence. If you are talking about the West Coast, then it would be capitalized. If you are simply heading west, then it can be written in lowercase.
No, the word "south" should not be capitalized in the address "88 south 6th street." In addresses, directional words (like north, south, east, and west) are typically lowercase unless they are part of a formal street name.
Yes, "Old West" should be capitalized when referring to the historical period and region in the western United States during the late 19th century. Capitalizing "Old West" helps to distinguish it as a specific time and place in history.
Yes, "West Coast" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun referring to a specific geographic region along the western coast of the United States.
Yes, when referring to the specific geographic directions (North, South, East, West), they are capitalized. However, when used as general directions, they are not capitalized (e.g., go north on Main Street).
