The ZIP's name tells the story. Pickwick Dam, completed by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1938, created a 43,000-acre reservoir along the Tennessee River. The dam itself sits at the border of Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. Communities scattered across this tri-state area, many without their own carrier delivery, rely on this post office. The surrounding landscape is dominated by water, recreation areas, and seasonal cabins that don't qualify for rural route service.
Only one street appears in the ZIP+4 data: State Park LN. That's the access road to Pickwick Landing State Park, which occupies much of the immediate area. The park features a resort inn, golf course, marina, and campground. Most structures here are park facilities, not permanent residences. The four occupied housing units represent park staff or dam personnel living on-site.
The census records a median age of 36.3 years among the tiny resident population. All 17 residents are white, and all 4 housing units are occupied year-round. There are no seasonal vacancies in the census count because the enumeration doesn't include campground structures. The 20 businesses reported likely include marina operators, park concessions, and service providers for the recreation complex.
Pickwick Dam operates as a navigation lock and hydroelectric facility. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the waterway, while the Tennessee Valley Authority runs power generation. These federal operations don't generate residential addresses, but they do generate mail. Add the state park operations, and you have multiple government entities sharing postal infrastructure designed for a much larger community.
The 144 PO Boxes serve lake residents, seasonal cabin owners, and businesses spread across Hardin County and into neighboring Mississippi. When your property sits on a remote cove or private marina, driving to Pickwick Dam for mail is often the only option. Rural routes in the area serve established county roads, but waterfront development along the reservoir frequently falls outside carrier service areas. The boxes aren't a convenience. They're the infrastructure that makes lake living viable.
The single street name reveals this ZIP's identity as park and dam infrastructure rather than residential community. State Park LN provides access to Pickwick Landing State Park facilities, while the broader region relies on the post office for scattered reservoir properties.
