1954 Map of Black Forest

Social and community hubs are sparse but notable, including the Black Forest School and the La Foret (Church Camp) located near Burgess Creek. Significant agricultural holdings like the Old Bar X Ranch and Pine Cone Ranch suggest the long-standing ranching heritage of the region. Modern infrastructure begins to appear in the form of a Television Relay Station and a Pipe Line, while the Brentwood Country Club and Black Forest Recreation Area point toward the area's increasing role as a destination for leisure and outdoor activity.
