  • Only one street name (Colonia) appears in USPS delivery records for this remote Pacific island

Island Mail Infrastructure

The postal system here reflects island geography and settlement patterns. With just one street name appearing in USPS records (Colonia) alongside the main POSTMASTER facility, Yap's mail network operates on a fundamentally different model than mainland communities. The alias "YAP CAROLINE ISLANDS" connects this location to its historical position in the Caroline Islands chain, a remote archipelago in the western Pacific.

Why PO Boxes Are Essential

This isn't a matter of postal convenience. The island's position in Micronesia means that traditional carrier routes aren't practical. The single Highway Contract Route (Route H) designation in the data indicates that mail travels by a different system here, likely involving inter-island transportation. The complete absence of City Routes or Rural Routes confirms that residents collect mail from the post office rather than receiving home delivery.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Street Infrastructure Island Settlement

With just one street name on record, Yap's postal system reflects its remote island geography where traditional street-based delivery isn't practical. Colonia, the only named street, serves as the administrative center for this Micronesian community.
