Mohegan Lake also flows into South Inlet, as do a number of small streams 

 from the hills in the central part of Township 5. 



Next in importance is Sucker Brook, which gives the name to the large bay in 

 the northern part of Raquette Lake. This stream drains Shallow and Queer 

 Lakes, Pelcher Pond, and the Haymarsh Ponds, all on Township 41. Its water- 

 shed covers all the southern third of that township. 



Another stream is the Brown's Tract Inlet, emptying into Raquette Lake at its 

 western end. This drains parts of Townships 5 and 41 and receives the waters 

 from the Brown's Tract Ponds and the streams flowing into them. 



The fourth stream is Beaver Brook, flowing into Beaver Bay and draining the 

 small valley in the southeastern part of Township 41, much of which is open 

 marsh. 



The remaining stream is the Bear Pond Brook on Township 6, which flows 

 into the Marion River at a point on the Utowana Carry. 



Moose River System. — The second principal drainage area is the Moose River 

 System. This includes the chain of lakes making the North Branch of the Moose 

 River and composed of First and Second Lakes — now called respectively Lake 

 Rondaxe and Dart's Lake — and Big Moose Lake. The water from Constable 

 Pond, with its tributaries, Chubb and Pigeon Ponds, empties into the South Bay 

 of Big Moose; Russian Lake into East Bay; while into Inlet Bay flow the most 

 important brooks draining the northern part of the township. The characteristic 

 features of the valleys of each of these streams are the balsam swamps through 

 which they flow, and the steep hills on either side of the U-shaped valleys. 



The Fulton Chain. — The greater part of the Fulton Chain watershed on the 

 block is on Township 5, which contains the upper part of Seventh and the whole 

 of Eighth Lake. The tributary brooks are short and usually nameless, with the 

 exception of the Seventh Lake Inlet, which drains a valley of considerable size 

 in the center of the township. To this watershed also belong Eagle Creek (a small 

 brook in the southwest corner of Township 41 flowing into Fourth Lake) and the 

 stream draining the little valley just north of Black Bear Mountain and lying 

 partly in Township 5 and partly in Township 41. This brook also flows into 

 Fourth Lake. 



The streams tributary to the South Branch of Moose River are in the southwest 

 corners of Townships 5 and 6. They are Red River; Benedict Creek, which drains 

 Bear Pond on the Nivins Lot; Sumner Stream, the outlet of Lake Kora; and the 

 North Branch of Silver Run, draining the valley lying between Bradley and 

 Wakeley Mountains.
