ReneGil08 says that Woodrow Wilson has the most street names named after him.
Wilson is incorrect. The top 5 most common presidential street names are:
1. Washington (21.3 per 10,000 real estate listings)
2. Lincoln (13.6 per 10,000 real estate listings) 3. Jefferson (11.4 per 10,000 real estate listings)
4. Jackson (11 per 10,000 real estate listings)
5. Madison (10.8 per 10,000 real estate listings)
Andrew Jackson, by far. When checking the Atlases of every state, Jackson had more cities, streets, schools, town sqaures,and people named after him than any other president.
*but are they all named after him or just coincidence?
Ronald Reagan has the most places or places of attractions named after him.

In order to make an accurate survey, you would have to specify exactly what places you were going to count and whether schools and such that are names after towns that were named for president would be counted twice.
However, I would guess that George Washington would be the leader by a substantial margin. Second place would go to Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson with Abraham Lincoln in fourth.
