9 Areas in the United States that are Completely Uninhabited

"9 Areas in the United States That Are Completely Uninhabited"

"1. Palmyra Atoll, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands"

"This island is located between Hawaii and American Samoa. Palmyra Atoll is almost perfectly centered in the Pacific Ocean. Unlike some other islands on this list, this island is a reasonably sized 4.6 square miles."

"This island has a number of significant habitats and species, including 150 types of coral, which is double the amount found in Hawaii. Visits to this island are restricted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service."

"2. Rose Atoll, American Samoa"

"Rose Atoll is almost a perfect square. It is also the smallest atoll in the Samoan Islands geographically, measuring only 1.62 by 1.68 miles. At high tide, the island is only a total of 12 acres in size. However, the total area of the atoll is 1,560 acres."

"Rose Atoll is a National Wildlife Refuge that serves as a habitat for a population of giant clams, reef fish, and the largest nesting colony of seabirds in American Samoa. In addition, there are also carnivorous fish with a high concentration."

3, Howland Island, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands

Howland Island has an area of about one square mile.

"However, when talking about the National Wildlife Refuge, there are 32,074 hectares of submerged land along with the surrounding coral reefs, creating potential maritime hazards. Only experienced sailors are advised to enter the island's waters."

"4. Baker Island, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands"

"Pulau Baker is the furthest US territory from North America. It is located about halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Before the US purchased the island, it was called New Nantucket."

The main reason this island is empty is because it is now a National Wildlife Refuge of Baker Island. Every year, members of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service visit it, but the land is left as is. The place was not always empty. There are still signs of human habitation, such as graves and some ruins.

"5. Jarvis Island, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands"

"Jarvis Island is also known by the name Bunker Island and Beting Bunker in the past. The island is located midway between Hawaii and the Cook Islands. It is a coral island."

Sure! Here’s the translation with the HTML tags preserved: "For a while, people lived on this island. A small settlement made the island their home. Unfortunately, during World War II, an attack threatened the settlement. The government evacuated the area and it has remained empty since then. Some building debris still remains."

"6. Johnston Atoll, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands"

"Johnston Atoll is designated for the US Fish and Wildlife Service and is a National Wildlife Refuge. However, the island is closed to the public, and the United States Air Force controls who enters the island."

"7. Kingman Reef, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands"

"Kingman Reef is located in the middle between Hawaii and American Samoa. The land area above water is essentially nonexistent, measuring a total of 0.012 square miles. Initially, America marked it as a maritime threat, even going so far as to call it Danger Rock, due to reports of a ship colliding with it once in 1876."

"8. Navassa Island, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands"

"Navassa Island is one of the completely uninhabited counties. There is an ongoing dispute between the US and Haiti regarding the rightful ownership of the island. However, the United States argues that Navassa is not considered part of Haitian territory."

"9. Northern Islands Municipality, Northern Mariana Islands"

These islands are not completely uninhabited. There are houses and sometimes people on the island. However, until 2010, there were no official residents on the island. On the contrary, the houses are often used as secondary or seasonal homes.
