1988 Map of Eagle Nest

About this map

Eagles Nest rises above a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Boise National Forest during the late 1980s. The region is characterized by narrow creek valleys and water management features like the Horsethief Reservoir and Davis Reservoir. Infrastructure in this part of Valley County is centered around forestry and recreation, as evidenced by the Crawford FS Work Station and the Horsethief Basin with its designated boat ramps and picnic areas. A legacy of early transport persists in the form of a Pack Trail winding through the timber, while the more modern Trans Line indicates the development of utility corridors. Settlement is sparse, with Scott Valley and Eagle Nest serving as the primary named locales amidst a terrain of prominent peaks and numerous water bodies like French Creek and Pearsol Creek.
