There are plenty like 44181, which is Cleveland, Ohio's airmail facility, 
that don't represent physical locations. Others are 44101, the Cleveland 
main post office, and 44072, "Novelty, Ohio" (which doesn't exist as a 
municipality, only a post office; it's part of the town of South Russell).

Most ZIP codes do map to geographic locations, though, and even ones like
this aren't too hard to map if you know the area (44181=SW Cleveland by
the airport, 44101=downtown, 44072=South Russell).
