The United States Postal Service has a tool that lets you view any mail route in the US.

I’m not sure how long this has been around, but the USPS has a tool where you can see the mail route in any geographic area. Just search for an address and you can see where they go. It’s meant for businesses interested in direct mail, so it also shows average income, number of houses, and how much it’d cost to send mail on that route.

We've been told by Postmaster in town that it's just an "alternate route" with no regular carrier and irregular service at best - about 350 residential units - must be tacked on to someone's day: a torture treatment for the disloyal.
