A Backcountry Service Point

Mono Hot Springs sits deep in the Sierra Nevada backcountry, 185 square miles of mountain terrain in eastern Fresno County. This isn't a town in the traditional sense. There's no permanent population recorded by the Census Bureau, no businesses, no housing units. What exists here is a remote Community Post Office serving a vast wilderness territory accessed primarily via Highway 168.

Postal Services in the High Sierra

The post office accepts mail addressed to either Mono Hot Springs or Shaver Lake, reflecting the broader recreational area it serves. General Delivery is available, a service typically reserved for areas where standard addressing doesn't work. With one rural carrier route covering 185 square miles, this represents one of the most remote mail service points in California's central Sierra.

The Territory

This territory lies within the Sierra National Forest, where natural hot springs, high-elevation lakes, and backcountry recreation draw seasonal visitors. The absence of PO Boxes in the delivery data and zero residential count suggests this facility primarily handles seasonal mail for remote cabins, Forest Service operations, and visitors rather than year-round residents. Mail delivery here operates on a scale measured in square miles per delivery point, not addresses per block.

Street Name Patterns

Highway Corridor
