What does the '16R' designation indicate in a coordinate reference?

Explanation:
UTM zone designation. The number identifies which 6-degree-wide longitudinal zone the coordinate sits in, and the letter shows the latitude band within that zone. Together, this pairing helps locate the general area in the UTM grid (and is the way the grid zone is written in systems like MGRS). It isn’t an elevation measure, and while latitude bands exist, the primary purpose of this prefix is to indicate the horizontal zone for the coordinate.
