Key Facts
  • All 12 housing units are classified as seasonal or vacation properties, with zero year-round occupied residences
  • The ZIP code serves just one street (West Main Street) with 5 addresses total
  • This is designated as a PO Box ZIP code, though it does maintain limited street delivery for the seasonal properties
  • Population is recorded as zero in census data, reflecting the purely seasonal nature of the area
  • The post office is the only named building in postal records, serving as the community's permanent anchor
  • Located in Aroostook County, the northernmost and largest county in Maine at over 6,800 square miles

Seasonal Character

Clayton Lake represents Maine's most remote seasonal destinations. The ZIP code maintains just 5 year-round addresses along West Main Street, but seasonal use defines the character. All 12 housing units are classified as seasonal or vacation properties. There isn't a single occupied year-round residence recorded in the most recent census.

The post office serves as the permanent mailing address for property owners who may visit only during summer months or fall hunting season. This pattern is typical of Maine's North Woods recreational areas, where camps and seasonal cottages far outnumber permanent homes. PO Boxes provide year-round mail service even when the lake camps sit empty through winter.

Geographic Isolation

Location explains the seasonal nature. Clayton Lake sits in northwestern Aroostook County, Maine's largest and most sparsely populated county. The nearest population centers are dozens of miles away on logging roads. The area covers 2.2 square miles of land, all of it devoted to seasonal recreation rather than permanent settlement.

Postal Service

There's one named building in the postal records (Postmaster), and delivery follows a single city carrier route serving the handful of addresses along West Main Street. The postal facility maintains the permanent infrastructure needed for seasonal property owners to receive mail throughout the year.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Infrastructure

With only West Main Street in the postal records, this represents one of Maine's most minimal developed areas. The single street name indicates a camp or lodge-based community rather than a traditional town, typical of North Woods recreational zones.
