Division of Townships into Compartments. 



In formulating this working plan it has been considered advisable, for the 

 purpose of estimating the stand of timber, to divide the townships into compart- 

 ments based upon natural lines, which take in the timber standing in each 

 watershed. The boundaries of each compartment are defined by the height of 

 land. The divisions between the separate watersheds are shown upon the lumbering 

 map by broken lines. Because there are many different compartments from 

 which the timber, if it were taken down the natural water courses, would go 

 to widely diversified markets, each compartment will be spoken of separately. 

 A brief statement of the conditions existing on the different compartments and 

 the most advisable methods of removing the timber follow. Attention is invited 

 to the data shown upon the lumbering map for the purpose of conveying more 

 clearly to the lumberman a thorough understanding of the different compartments. 

 The following is a list of the compartments: 



No. 1. Shallow Lake Compartment. 



No. 2. Seventh and Eighth Lakes and Brown's Tract Pond Compartment,- 

 Tpwnships 5 and 41. 



No. 3. South Inlet Compartment. 



Bear Pond Compartment, in Township 6. 



Cedar River Compartment. 



Silver Run Compartment. 



Sumner Stream Compartment, Townships 5 and 6. 



Bear Pond and Red River Compartment, Township 5. 



Fourth Lake Compartment. 

 No. 10. Big Moose Compartment. 



No. 1. Shallow Lake Compartment. — The natural outlet by water for all 

 the timber in this large compartment, as well as the timber in the southwesterly 

 portion of Compartment 5, Township 40, to Raquette Lake is by way of the 

 outlet of Queer Lake, Shallow Lake and Sucker Brook. If it was intended t.o 

 take the timber out by way of Raquette Lake, it would be advisable to so 

 improve the streams that the timber could be driven direct into a large storage 

 boom located in the west end of Sucker Brook Bay. In order to make it possible 

 to drive the streams, it would be necessary to construct a small flood dam on 

 Township 40, near the head of the rapids between Raquette Lake and Cranberry 

 Pond at the point shown on the lumbering map. It would also be necessary to 

 improve the stream between Raquette Lake and Cranberry Pond by blasting out
