The ZIP code's delivery infrastructure centers on two rural carrier routes that handle the scattered residential properties along FM 210 and Walsh Road. These routes cover the small 0.14 square mile service area while maintaining the flexibility needed for Texas ranch country. Residents pick up their mail at the post office rather than receiving street delivery, a common pattern in agricultural areas where properties sit far apart and traditional carrier routes aren't practical.
The street network consists of FM 210, a Texas farm-to-market road that serves as the primary route through the area, and Walsh Road. With only two named streets in the postal database, this reflects Megargel's character as a small agricultural community where most addresses rely on PO Boxes rather than street delivery.
