It is common in parts of rural Nebraska to have several mailboxes

their own posts. It will be up to the ranchers to get their mail from
there.
There isn't delivery to individual houses.
There might also be a post there with signs pointing to the
individual ranches.
Each sign would be a single board cut to make an arrow. It might say
something
like Too Poor Ranch 12 miles.


Last time I was in Nevada and Utah driving we'd see signs that just
said Ranch Road 30, etc. They didn't have addresses
like 123 Main Street or RR 10, Box 1.


For years here my postal address was RR2 box 109. They finally
standardized it to the normal grid address.
