The facility serves an area where street delivery doesn't exist. That's typical for sparsely populated sections of rural Alabama, where carrier routes would cover vast distances for relatively few delivery points. Peterson's location along Old Birmingham Highway positions it as a collection point for scattered rural properties. The post office recorded five business addresses alongside its residential box holders, suggesting a small commercial presence centered around the highway corridor.
The single named route references the historic Birmingham corridor that runs through rural western Alabama. The highway name indicates Peterson's role as a waypoint along a major transportation route rather than a self-contained community.
