Cedar River System. — The remaining system is represented by a small brook 

 in the extreme southeast corner of Township 6, which flows into Cedar River, a 

 branch of the Hudson. This section has been cut over and is of relatively small 

 importance, but is interesting as belonging to the Hudson River Drainage Basin. 



Following is a brief description of each of the three townships: 



Township 5. 



Township 5 is bounded on the north by Townships 41 and 40; on the east by 

 Townships 6 and 4; and on the south and west by Township 4, Totten and Cross- 

 field Purchase, and Townships 3 and 4 of the Moose River Tract. 



In common with the remainder of the block the topography of Township 5 is 

 mountainous. There are several ranges of hills without continuous ridges as on the 

 other townships, but broken up into irregular groups. The summits of a number 

 of these hills have elevations of over 2,200 feet. The highest point on the town- 

 ship is 2,580 feet. 



In the northern third of Township 5 lie Eighth Lake, a portion of Seventh 

 Lake, and the Brown's Tract Ponds, a scarcely perceptible divide separating the 

 two watersheds. The drainage from the high ridges in the center of the town- 

 ship, and from the southeastern part, is mainly through brooks flowing into the 

 South Bay of Raquefte Lake, while the water from the southwestern corner is 

 carried to the South Branch of the Moose River through several streams. 



Township 6. 



Township 6 lies to the southeast of Township 40 and is further bounded 

 by Townships 34, 33, 7, 4 and 5, all of the Totten and Crossfield Purchase. It is 

 approximately of the same size as Township 40, the boundary lines being six and 

 one half by six miles in length. The dominant features in the topography 

 are the hills of irregular shape in the northern half of the township and the 

 much higher ridges within and bordering its south edge. The highest point in 

 the township is the summit of the Blue Ridge, which reaches an elevation 

 of 3,460 feet. 



The water on Township 6 goes into each of the three principal watersheds. 

 The largest area is that tributary to the South Bay of Raquette Lake. Its main 

 stream is South Inlet. The rest of the water finding its way into South Bay 

 flows through Death Brook which drains the northern side of the hills facing 

 Raquette Lake.
