2023 Map of Eagle Nest
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The high-altitude Moreno Valley of Colfax County and Taos County is anchored by the waters of Eagle Nest Lake. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the historic gold-mining site of Elizabethtown, where the Elizabethtown Cem remains on a hillside above Moreno Creek. To the west, the steep slopes of the Wheeler Peak Wilderness and Carson National Forest dominate the terrain, featuring landmarks like Taos Peak and the Val Verde Ski Area. The settlement of Eagle Nest sits at a critical junction of mountain roads, while smaller communities like Idlewild and Lakeview Pines are situated along the valley floor. Water drainage is defined by numerous gulches and creeks, including Humbug Gulch and Comanche Creek, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to both hydraulic mining history and modern recreation.
