I searched (via goggle) and found this old post here, by the trail maintainer at that time: https://www.vftt.org/threads/visiting-a-section-of-"ye-olde"-osgood-trail-doing-a-short-loop-hike-02-jan-2009.27121/ It includes a map of the old Osgood route, with discussion of the water crossing etc. It says it's generally part of the Glen House trail system now. They publish current Summer and Winter maps here: https://greatglentrails.com/trail-map-summer/ https://greatglentrails.com/trail-map-winter/ Caltopo does show the old trail on their historic layer. All the best in finding the route. Last edited: Yesterday at 4:46 PM

It refers to the Views poster I linked above, who also comments there in the blog. As usual, Steve's report and photos are concise, evocative, and will induce you to get up and go hike there. https://mountainwandering.blogspot.com/2009/06/great-gulf-chandler-brook-6409-trip.html (There's no mention of the old Osgood trail).
