Much of rural America is like this. It's useful for pinpointing people in emergency situations.

Unfortunately, it leads to ugly addresses like:

  Jane Doe
  E18873 Rural Route 74
  Smalltown US, 80001
Or even worse...

  Jane Doe
  N7883 W17382
  Smalltown, US 80001
Precise for first responders with auto-routing. Not exactly descriptive for humans.
