ZIP CODE MAPS FREE: Major Cities and Surrounding Areas

Here you'll find a fine collection of zip code maps free to use in any way you wish.

It's hard to believe that zip codes didn't even exist until 1963. The need for this new system reflected America's gradual change from an agricultural to an industrial society. By 1963, about 80% of all U.S. mail was business-related. The ZIP Code system, which is abbreviated from Zoning Improvement Plan, went into effect on July 1, 1963.

The zip code maps shown below represent fourteen major cities and their surrounding areas: Arlington (TX), Broward County (FL), Detroit (MI), Gilbert (AZ), Houston (TX), Las Vegas (NV), Miami Dade County (FL), Nashville (TN), Manhattan (NYC), Philadelphia (PA), Pittsburgh (PA), Raleigh (NC), San Francisco (CA), and Tyler (TX).

Check back often for frequent updates to this collection. Eventually, we'll have zip code maps from all 50 states.
