Bynum sits in Calhoun County, Alabama, where PO Box service defines how mail reaches this small community. The post office maintains 177 PO boxes serving local residents and surrounding areas without carrier delivery.
Street delivery exists but it's limited. Only two roads appear in postal records: Highway 202 and Bynum Boulevard. The handful of delivery points means most addresses here rely on post office boxes rather than home delivery. This isn't unusual for small Alabama towns where rural geography makes PO boxes the practical choice.
The street network is minimal, centered on Highway 202 with just one named boulevard. This reflects a small town where the highway provides the main connection to surrounding areas.
