The facility operates as a Contract Postal Unit rather than a full-service post office, offering essential mailing services to its small customer base.

Street Name Patterns

Highway Corridor

With only State Road 45 West appearing in delivery records, Stanford's street presence is minimal. The highway designation indicates the postal facility sits along a state route corridor rather than within a traditional town grid. The absence of local street names suggests this serves as a service point for a dispersed rural area rather than a residential community.
