About this map

Success Pond sits at the heart of this landscape in the northern New Hampshire woods, surrounded by the high elevations of Bald Mountain and Chickwolnepy Mountain. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Chickwolnepy Stream and the various branches of Stearns Brook. This map documents the area during a period of modern recreational and timber access, shown through the network of forest routes like Success Pond Rd and Mary Grande Rd.

The presence of the Speck Pond Trl near Sucker Brook suggests the enduring use of these mountains for backcountry travel. Further south, the map details the headwaters of Alder Brook and Horne Brook, illustrating the drainage patterns that flow from Success Hill and Red Ridge. This survey provides a clear view of the undeveloped mountain terrain along the Maine-New Hampshire border before further 21st-century changes.
