Pond dimensions

All the dimensions stated for this pond are suspect.

The reference to ("Sargent ponds". dec.ny.gov. nysdec) actually points to Padget Pond. I cannot find this pond in that database. The max depth that was stated in the Infobox (32ft) conflicted with that stated in the text (11 ft). (I have suspended the one in the Infobox and put a reference to this discussion in the text.)

The coordinates given were incorrect and did not point at a waterbody at all. After some research on Google Maps and the GNIS database I found that the minutes and seconds had incorrectly been expressed as a decimal. (44.5122 instead of 43°51'22.2 etc). (I also refined them slightly to point to the middle of the pond rather than the left bank.)

The other reference given is a book so I have no way of checking if that has been correctly quoted?

I have no other sources to clarify or rectify these problems. If anybody else has access to any sources I hope they can resolve these issues.
