The United States territory is the extent of region under the control of the United States of America federal government. These regions, districts, and divisions are under the supervision of the United States federal government. The United States territory is a clearly defined geographical area and refers to an area of land under jurisdiction of United States federal governmental authority. This extent of territory is all the area belonging to, and under the dominion of, the United States of America federal government (which includes tracts of land lying at a distance from the country) for administrative and other purposes.

  • Baker Island
  • Howland Island
  • Jarvis Island
  • Johnston Atoll ... See also: There is no official territory (or whatever) of U.S. Minor Outlying Islands. The CIA World Factbook lists them all separately and other books list them as they deem fit. In the Fischer Weltalmanach 2000, the islands to which links are provided above are listed as 'sonstige' (remaining).
    Jarig Bakker , 29 January 2000 By process of elimination from the list of US territories that have their own ISO codes, the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands consist of Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Island, Navassa Island, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Atoll. Of these, Baker, Howland, Kingman, and Palmyra are uninhabited. US military, government, and government contractor personnel live on a temporary basis on Johnston, Midway, and Wake. Their citizenship is whatever it was when they arrivedmainly US. There are no indigenous people on any of them to have nationalities of their own.

    http://www.paulnoll.com/Locations/visiting-Midway-Islands.html
    Midway Islands Background: The US took formal possession of the islands in 1867. The laying of the trans-Pacific cable, which passed through the islands, brought the first residents in 1903. Between 1935 and 1947, Midway was used as a refueling stop for trans-Pacific flights. The US naval victory over a Japanese fleet off Midway in 1942 was one of the turning points of World War II. The islands continued to serve as a naval station until closed in 1993. Today the islands are a national wildlife refuge. From 1996 to 2001 the refuge was open to the public. It is now temporarily closed.
    Location: Oceania, atoll in the North Pacific Ocean, about one-third of the way from Honolulu to Tokyo Area: Total: 6.2 sq km. Note: includes Eastern Island, Sand Island, and Spit Island. Area - comparative: About nine times the size of The Mall in Washington, DC. Coastline: 15 km. Maritime claims: Exclusive economic zone: 200 NM, territorial sea: 12 NM.
    Climate and Terrain: Climate: Subtropical, but moderated by prevailing easterly winds. Terrain: Low, nearly level. Elevation extremes: Lowest point: Pacific Ocean m, highest point: unnamed location 13 m. Natural resources: Wildlife, terrestrial and aquatic. Land use: Arable land: 0%. Geography - note: A coral atoll managed as a national wildlife refuge and open to the public for wildlife-related recreation in the form of wildlife observation and photography, sport fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving; the refuge is temporarily closed for reorganization at present.
