The letters designate which drainage the lake belongs to. For instance, "W" is Weber, "BR" is Bear River, Provo is "A", "G" is Blacks fork.
The system is usually fairly uniform but there are exceptions, The Duchesne drainage has lakes with letters "D", "X", and "Z". (mostly "Z")
Each lake then gets a number that goes after the letter. It is not a coordinate however. The system assigns a number to each lake which starts at 1 and goes to however many lakes are in the drainage.
Hope this helps.
