Sterling Hill Mine at Ogdensburg

Does anybody know where I can find a definitive image or profile showing the track layout on the property of the zinc mine at Sterling Hill in Ogdensburg. I've seen various images in L&HR books etc., but none are definitive/complete.

Maybe the current owners can help.

The track arrangement must have changed at some point. I have seen pics of the crusher from the 40's and it is not the same one that is there today.

I was browsing and found your query on th Sterling mine track plan.
In case you've not yet been successful, try a USGS topo map from the 40s
or 50s. The "new' Mill was built on higher ground to the west of the original.
