The ZIP's classification as PO Box-only doesn't reflect a lack of infrastructure. Rather, it indicates that this particular ZIP code contains only post office box addresses. Three Highway 15 delivery records show that some form of carrier service exists along this corridor, though most residents and regional customers rely on the post office as their primary mail access point.
With just 26 occupied households spread across 0.73 square miles, Archibald sits at the intersection of rural Louisiana mail logistics. The post office here functions as a collection point for residents along Highway Contract Route segments who lack home delivery. This pattern is common in parishes where population density doesn't justify daily carrier routes to every residence.
The facility maintains 63 PO Boxes and serves 9 businesses through its Highway route structure. Three distinct Highway Contract Routes connect to this location, suggesting the post office anchors mail service for a dispersed rural population that depends on PO Boxes rather than waiting for infrequent rural carrier visits.
The single street entry for Highway 15 reflects Archibald's position as a corridor community along Louisiana's north-south highway network. The three delivery records along this route represent the only street-based delivery points, while the 63 PO Boxes handle the bulk of mail service for the dispersed rural population.
