[GIS] find a dataset containing locations of all USPS post offices

data

I searched the USPS web site, queried GeoData.gov, did a general Google search and turned up nothing. I tried querying GNIS for feature type post office, but the data is listed as "entered 1993" for most entries, and just looking at some in my general vicinity I can find now-closed post-offices not listed as "historical", currently open post offices listed as "historical", and open post offices with locations listed as unknown. All in all, not a very good approach.

While a national listing would be ideal, a source for just New Mexico would suffice (at least for now.)

Best Answer

One possible data source is the POI Factory. They have a post offices layer (I don't know the quality of the data) that purports to have

"22,411 POI locations in the United States."

Depending on your planned use, you should definitely read their Terms of Use.
