About this map

Spring Valley and the Wilson Creek Range dominate this corner of Lincoln County, where the high desert terrain meets developed recreation. The map highlights the Eagle Valley Res State Recreation Area, centered on the Eagle Valley Reservoir. This water feature, equipped with a Boat Ramp and nearby Meadow Valley Recreation Area, marks a significant point of water management and leisure in a landscape otherwise defined by ephemeral drainages like Buster Wash and White Rock Wash.

Evidence of earlier land use and remote habitation appears in the small Cem located near the State Line and various water sources like Horsethief Spring and Willow Spring. The Meadow Valley Wash flows southward toward a Gaging Station, illustrating the area's role in monitoring regional hydrology. Terrain landmarks such as Horsethief Mtn and the curious Window in Rock provide distinctive navigational points for those tracing the network of Jeep Trails that crisscross the valley and canyons.
