Baskett is a small community in Henderson County, Kentucky, near the Indiana border and the Evansville metro area. Despite its classification as a PO Box ZIP code, the post office currently maintains no PO Boxes and instead serves five residential delivery points through a single city carrier route.
This ZIP operates as a point location within the larger ZIP 42420. The minimal postal infrastructure includes delivery to 2nd Avenue and a facility identified as the Postmaster location. The community sits about 5-6 miles from Evansville, Indiana neighborhoods including Kathleen/Jeannette and Eastview.
Mail delivery here doesn't follow the typical PO Box-only pattern. Street delivery is available for the handful of local addresses, though General Delivery service is also offered. The classification as a PO Box ZIP appears to be a legacy designation that doesn't match the current delivery pattern.
Only one street with delivery service: 2nd Avenue.
ZIP Code 42402 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
