+* Jarvis Island
+* Johnston Atoll
+* Kingman Reef
+* Midway Atoll
+* Navassa Island

+* Wake Island
+Note that some lists might group or separate these minor islands differently, and not all are individually administered as separate entities; some are grouped for administrative purposes. Also, while Palmyra Atoll is technically incorporated (meaning it's an integral part of the United States), the others are unincorporated territories (meaning they are administered by the U.S. but are not fully part of it).
