United States Federal republic in North America

The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States or America, is a country composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles. With a population of over 327 million people, the U.S. is the third most populous country. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city by population is New York City. Forty-eight states and the capital's federal district are contiguous in North America between Canada and Mexico. The State of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The State of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate, and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.

Route description

GH-10 begins at a junction off GH-4 near Pago Bay. It trends eastward into the coastal village of Mangilao. GH-32 then spurs off the route towards the University of Guam. GH-10 then turns generally northward and intersects GH-15 before crossing into Barrigada and ending at a junction with GH-8. The road itself continues beyond the intersection into the Tiyan area, formerly Naval Air Station Guam. [1] Although there exists a suffixed GH-10A, it is not in any way connected to GH-10: being located on the other side of Tiyan and primarily serving Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport.

Guam Highway 4 (GH-4) is one of the primary automobile highways in the United States territory of Guam.

Barrigada Village in Guam, United States

Barrigada is a village in the United States territory of Guam. A largely residential municipality, its main village is located south of the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport near the intersections of Routes 8, 10, and 16. The community east of the airport known as Barrigada Heights is considered an affluent neighborhood on the island, where homes have excellent views overlooking much of Guam including the island's airport and hotels along Tumon Bay. Another significant location is Mount Barrigada, nearly 200 meters above sea level. Its location in the center of the island means it houses most of the island's radio masts and towers; the position and height make it easier for radio signals to reach the entire island.

Guam Highway 27 (GH-27), also known as Hamburger Highway or Harmon Loop Road, is a short highway in the United States territory of Guam.
