Notes: The lakes had been named Twin Lakes by early surveyors, but eventually only the west lake was officially named Twin Lake, and the east lake was known as Sylvia. In practice, however, both lakes were referred to as Sylvia, and in 2006 the lakes were officially changed to West Lake Sylvia and East Lake Sylvia. Throughout the book references to Twin Lake are to be considered West Lake Sylvia, and references to Lake Sylvia include the east and west lakes--From p. 11.
