I suspect most people know the name of the street they live on, a major crossroad near it, and not much beyond that - unless the streets are numbered.

Denver has a pretty regular system: north-south streets west of the Capitol are alphabetic series, as are those starting about two miles east of the Capitol. East-west streets north of Exposition are numbered, but from Exposition south one had to know them. At this point, after about forty-five years away, I know where Evans and Hampden are, and that's about it.
