Fords Branch is a tiny community in Pike County, Kentucky, with just 24 residents and 8 occupied homes. This ZIP code sits within the larger Pike County postal territory (41501) and serves a single road, Kewanee Road. Despite being classified as a PO Box ZIP, the post office here operates no PO Boxes.

The classification as a PO Box ZIP reflects its origin as a small post office serving scattered households in eastern Kentucky's rugged terrain, though current mail delivery includes carrier service rather than relying exclusively on boxes.
