About this map

Boise National Forest dominates this section of Valley County, where the high country of the West Mountains meets the expansive drainage of Long Valley. The landscape is defined by its water resources, featuring a series of catchments including Horsethief Reservoir, Calendar Reservoir, and Davis Reservoir. These reservoirs, coupled with the winding courses of Big Cr and Pearsol Cr, illustrate the complex irrigation and water management required for the surrounding basin.

Settlement is sparse, centered around the eponymous Eagle Nest and the small community of Scott Valley. Local transit is facilitated by a network of forest roads and trails such as Warm Lake Rd and the Eagle Nest-Gold Fork Riv road, which provide access through the timbered slopes. The map also records numerous local landmarks including Horsethief Basin and the Lost Basin Cutoff, offering a detailed view of this specialized mountain and valley ecosystem.
