Mellwood sits in the rural Mississippi Delta of Phillips County, Arkansas. With just 60 residents and 15 occupied homes, it's one of the smallest communities in the state to maintain its own post office. The area covers nearly 26 square miles of delta farmland, connected by county roads like Phillips 524 and Highway 44.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery alternative for residents here. The post office maintains 39 PO Boxes for 15 households, a 2.6x adoption rate that shows how this small office serves the surrounding area. Farmers, hunters, and property owners from miles around pick up mail at the Mellwood post office.
Seasonality defines much of the housing here. Of 30 total housing units, 11 (37%) are used seasonally or occasionally. That's typical for delta hunting land, where duck clubs and seasonal camps dot the landscape. The median age of 53.5 years suggests an older population of long-time residents and retirees who've chosen to stay.
Most homes here are owner-occupied (13 of 15 households). The racial mix includes White residents (41), Hispanic residents (13), and Black residents (12) across the 60-person community. Nearly all the housing stock predates 1939 (12 of 30 units), reflecting the area's deep agricultural history.
Roads follow the county numbering system typical of rural Arkansas, with Highway 44 as the main connection.
