So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Myra). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Myra or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). <4> The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
