I'm mapping all the zip codes in the US graphically on a map. I've been looking for one, I've found:

 

http://maps.huge.info/zip.htm -- Looks good, but some areas are blank (no zip code) and need to zoom in really far to get to zip codes, hard to keep place (not a big deal really, as long as the info is there).

 

http://maps.huge.info/zipv0.htm -- The old version of above.

 

http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/mapzip.asp -- Can look up zip codes and see a map, but can't see other zip code areas, good for checking I suppose.

 

Sorry, it's kind of random, and I should be able to do it by myself. Mostly I just want confirmation that what I have can work :P My last plan didn't work out so well.

 

And I was thinking... Could I call the Post Office and somehow get some kind of map? Mostly I just need to be able to look at an area on the map and know the zip code.

That was my original plan, but it doesn't tell you the zip codes in areas outside of cities/towns.

 

Now that I think about it... Are there really zipcodes outside of cities and towns? Are there people, does mail go there?

I thought that pretty much all land was claimed by some town or another even if nobody actually lives there.

Google Earth seems to be able to display the borders, but doesn't show the numbers. Does anyone know a lot about this? Is there a way to see the zip codes along with the borders?

I think that there are some areas that governed directly by the county?

If you can send mail there, you should still be able to find out the ZIP code, then.

I don't really know where the zip code would be unless it was associated with a city... but with Google Earth I can mark the zip code boundries and overlay an image showing the sections! This should work. Hey thanks Ecoli, I was getting really frustrated for a while and you helped me.
