Take for example: ''742 Evergreen Terrace''

Let's say that this segment (block) of Evergreen Terrace runs from 700 to 799. Even-numbered addresses would fall on one side (e.g. northleft side) of Evergreen Terrace, with odd-numbered addresses on the other side (e.g. southright side). 742 Evergreen Terrace would be located slightly less than halfway up the block, on the northleft side of the street. A point would be mapped at that ___location along the street, perhaps offset some distance to the left of the street centerline.

However, this process is not always as straightforward as in this example.
