The ZIP isn't purely PO Box only despite the classification. Two rural carrier routes deliver to about 21 street addresses along E 3rd St NE, E 2nd St NE, E 4th St NE, and Burlington Dr. These numbered streets form a small grid typical of early 20th-century Georgia mill towns. Most residents and businesses, though, use one of the 371 PO Boxes rather than street delivery.
Shannon operates as a postal hub for the surrounding countryside. The high ratio of PO Boxes to actual addresses shows the post office's regional function. People from unincorporated areas without carrier delivery rely on Shannon's facility. It's a pattern common in rural Georgia, where small post offices serve areas much larger than their ZIP boundaries suggest.
The numbered streets with NE directionals (E 2nd, E 3rd, E 4th) form a classic small-town Georgia grid. Burlington Dr represents newer development beyond the historic core. The extension of E 2nd St shows the town's limited growth pattern.
