The sectional chart may help, but you can find the law that
establishes an airway, each one has a public statement. In
that discussion you will find many answers.
If you want to see real odd altitudes, look around Key West
for the safe quadrangle altitude, it is about 14,000 last
time I looked. Why? Because they sometimes have a tethered
balloon and radar up looking at the drug smugglers.

14,000???
