Township 41. 



There are no private claims recognized by the State on the portion of Town- 

 ship 41 lying within Hamilton County, except the 100-foot right of way of 

 the railroad across one corner of it. That part of Township 41 in Herkimer 

 County is owned by Mr. Aaron Lloyd. 



Several camps have been erected on the township, but all are on State land, 

 notably the one at Shallow Lake, consisting of two log cabins which in 1901 

 were in a fair state of repair. There are open lean-to camps at the Lower 

 Brown's Tract Pond and at Queer Lake, and the remains of others at Haymarsh 

 Pond, Palisade Camp, Twin Sisters Ponds, and elsewhere. The Sucker Brook 

 highway, built by Mr. Durant in 1897 and 1898, crosses part of the township, 

 but having been abandoned since the railroad was completed it has now fallen 

 into a state of disrepair. There are a number of good trails on the township 

 which could be much improved by a little labor, were there a resident game 

 protector or forest warden. 



Tl)e Estimate. 



Compartments. 



To facilitate the estimate of the standing timber the three townships were 

 divided into a number of compartments. These compartments consist of portions 

 of the principal watersheds already described. The boundary lines of the com- 

 partments follow the natural divisions, except in one or two cases where from 

 the nature of the topography it would be possible by a short, uphill haul to save 

 a long distance in getting the logs to a shipping point. The compartment 

 boundaries are shown on the accompanying map by broken red lines, and are 

 designated by roman numerals, also in red. There are on the three townships 

 ten compartments, which bear the following names: 



I. Shallow Lake. 



II. Seventh and Eighth Lakes and Brown's Tract Ponds. 



III. South Inlet. 



IV. Bear Pond in Township 6. 

 V. Cedar River. 



VI. Silver Run. 



VII. Sumner Stream. 



VIII. Red River. 



IX. Fourth Lake. 



X. Big Moose Lake.
