1988 Map of Success Pond

About this map

Success Pond sits at the center of this high-elevation landscape along the border of New Hampshire and Maine. Located primarily within the township of Success, the area is defined by sharp ridgelines and the headwaters of numerous mountain streams. The terrain rises significantly toward the Mahoosuc Range in the southeast, where peaks like Goose Eye Mtn and Mahoosuc Mtn dominate the horizon. In the late 1980s, this area was managed largely for timber and recreation, evidenced by the network of private roads and the presence of a Boat Ramp and Shelter near the pond's edge. Industrial activity is indicated by several Gravel Pits located near Blackstrap Brook. The map captures the meeting of Coos and Oxford counties, illustrating a remote section of the northern woods where logging infrastructure and natural landmarks like Chickwolnepy Mtn converge.
