Some of the post offices listed here used alternate town names on their early postmarks: “Bassa” and “Grand Bassa” cancels are from (Lower) Buchanan, “Sinoe” from Greenville. Some had their name changed, like Paynefield to Spriggs Payne, or Tchien to Zwedru, and some seem to have vanished altogether, e.g. “Arthington”, which is only known from the 1890s.
On the map, post offices without current postal codes are marked orange. In two cases (Buah and Kpayan) the former postal codes given in [2] seem to refer to whole districts rather than towns.
