Eastings and northings are generally x and y coordinates. Eastings correspond to the x values in the Cartesian coordinate system. The east and west axis run horizontally. northings correspond to the y values in the Cartesian coordinate system; the north and south axis run vertically.
The two most common coordinate systems used for northings and eastings are (Universal Transverse Mercator) UTM coordinates and (State Place Coordinate System) SPCS coordinates.

In surveying, Northing and Easting (also known as X/Y coordinates) are a geographic coordinate system based on the distance east and north of a reference point, typically a baseline such as the Prime Meridian. Northing is the distance along a meridian north of the reference point and Easting is the distance along the equator east of the reference point. This system allows surveyors to accurately locate points on the ground.
