2015 Map of Success

About this map

Success and its predecessor, Old Success, anchor this portion of the Missouri Ozarks within the sprawling Mark Twain National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of timber-harvesting and forest access routes, including Paddy Creek Rd and Wye City Rd, which navigate a series of deeply cut drainages such as Steam Mill Hollow and North Jacktar Hollow. The transition from the established settlement at Ellis Prairie to the isolated homesteads near Vada reflects the area's agricultural and logging heritage. Waterways like the E Fork Roubidoux Cr and Big Paddy Cr provide the primary geographic framework, while the intersection at Mitchells Corner serves as a local navigational hub. The map captures a moment of modern forest management where forestry trails and named hollows, like Gillian Hollow and Flatrock Hollow, mark the topographic character of Texas County.
