Just going to leave some comments for you (and put it on temporary hold).

"Known as Lake Clear Road, NY 186 heads east-northeastward, crossing a pair of train tracks and later a creek" <-- Google terrain can give you the name of the creek. Can you find the name of the tracks?
"NY 86 remained on this alignment until March 28, 1989, when the NY 192 designation was deleted.[2] NY 86 was then rerouted to follow the former routing of NY 192 northwestward to Paul Smiths. The Lake Clear–Harrietstown roadway, vacated by NY 86, was redesignated as NY 186" <-- I would mention about NY 192A/NY 86 as well.
Add some history to the lead.
Reference 1 has a new link. Its in New York State Route 185.
I will get you an image hopefully tonight or tomorrow.
Its been 20 years since the assignment. Has there any recent events?
(Optional) Harrietstown history?

Its on hold for now. Knowing you, JC, you'll pass it :).Mitch32^{(Go Syracuse)} 22:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
