An excellent source of lost and abandoned trails are "new" topo maps. The topography may be exceedingly correct, but the other information on the maps is often much less accurate. Such is the case with the Maptech NH quads, which happily show this trail branching left off of the Peabody Brook Trail just north of the North Road. It meanders northward staying to the east of Leadmine Brook. At its nearest approach to the brook, it crosses the Mahoosuc Trail just east of Page Pond. Here the "New Trail to Page Pond" continues north to the Success Pond Road. My assumption is that this is a different trail. My reasoning for this lies in that the route south of the Mahoosuc Trail is redundantly labelled as the "Sinclair Trail" three times. North of the Mahoosuc Trail, it is nameless. Searches in all AMC Guides available to me reveal no mentions of this trail.
Topozone shows the (map) trail as well, indicating the use of a common underlying USGS sheet.
