Viewseeker,
I do not know if this is the correct answer or not, but here is one theory:
I believe it is the stan-helios reflector on top of the Cathedral Rock fire tower.

The tower is topped by a stainless steel stan-helio to commemorate the device designed more than 100 years ago by Adirondack surveyor Verplanck Colvin. The stan-helio, originally made from tin, reflected sunlight and was used to measure distances. The new model, with weatherproof mirrors, was made by Wanakena resident Paul Peacock. His father, Roy, was a member of the Ranger School's first graduating class in 1913. HAYDK
