Postal Service Pattern

This is a true PO Box-only zone. The streets here don't get carrier delivery from alternative ZIP codes, making the post office the sole option for residents in this peninsula community. The pattern is typical for waterfront areas in southern Maryland, where long driveways and sparse development make traditional mail routes impractical. Nine businesses maintain addresses here, most likely marinas, seasonal operations, or services catering to the waterfront properties that define this peninsula.
