United States Government

Many small towns in America face the same situation as Star Lake: They are recognized as an entity only by the United Stated government through the existence of a Post Office bearing their name. In the case of Star Lake, and its neighbor Sayner, this is highlighted by the fact that the township is named Plum Lake. So the only government entity that recognizes Star Lake as an entity is the Post Office. We are Zip Code 54561.

However, Star Lake is touched by the federal government in a number of ways. See the listing of topics to the left.
