2013 Map of Black Forest

About this map

Black Forest occupies the center of this high-altitude landscape, where residential development in the early 21st century follows a dense grid of local roads and drives. The area is defined by its numerous small-scale water management features, including several Franktown Parker FPE-2 through FPE-6 Reservoirs. Toward the south, the settlement of La Foret lies near the Burgess River, while private ranching and aviation interests are scattered throughout, represented by the Old Bar X Ranch and Mountain View Ranch Airport. Local genealogy and land use can be traced through sites like Table Rock Cem and the surrounding terrain of Table Rock and Spruce Hill. The drainage patterns of Elk Cr, E Cherry Cr, and Black Squirrel Cr illustrate the watershed's significance to this community on the edge of the plains.
