Following is a brief description of each compartment : 



Compartment I. The Shallow Lake Compartment lies wholly in Township 

 41, occupying a broad belt across the lower center of the township. It com- 

 prises the valley of Sucker Brook. Tributary to this compartment is also the 

 land about Cascade Lake, whose waters go out through the Moose River. 

 Beaver Brook, in the southeastern part of Township 41, is included in this 

 compartment. This stream empties into Beaver Bay in Raquette Lake. 



Compartment II includes the southern edge of Township 41, the northern 

 half of Township 5, except that portion falling into Compartment IX, and the 

 northwestern corner of Township 6. It is made up of three watersheds, but on 

 account of the low divides between them it is possible to haul all the logs from 

 this compartment into Raquette Lake. The most important of the watersheds 

 in the compartment is that containing Seventh and Eighth Lakes. Next is the 

 Brown's Tract Inlet, draining the Brown's Tract Ponds. The third is that of 

 Eagle Creek, in the southwestern corner of Township 41. This stream flows into 

 Fourth Lake. 



Compartment III lies in both Townships 5 and 6 and embraces all the streams 

 tributary to South Bay of Raquette Lake. The most important valley in this 

 watershed is that of South Inlet, in the northwestern corner of Township 6. 

 The remaining part of Township 6 tributary to South Bay fronts on or is near 

 the lake. 



Compartment IV lies wholly in Township 6. It consists of the watershed of 

 Bear Brook, which empties into Marion River just below Utowana Lake. 



Compartment V is in the southeastern corner of Township 6 and covers the 

 area draining into the Cedar River. 



Compartment VI lies in the southwestern corner of Township 6 and is the 

 valley of the north branch of Silver Run, a tributary of the South Branch of 

 Moose River. 



Compartment VII is also in the southwestern part of Township 6. A very little 

 of the southeastern corner of Township 5 also comes into it. This compartment 

 contains the headwaters of the Sumner Stream, which drains Lake Kora on the 

 Woodruff Preserve. 



Compartment VIII is altogether in Township 5, and consists of the upper 

 part of the valleys of Benedict Creek and of Red River. Both these streams 

 empty into the South Branch of Moose River. The greater part of Lot 4, Nivins 

 Tract, is tributary to Benedict Creek.
