About this map

Fossil sits at the southern edge of this Wheeler County terrain, where the street grid of W Broadway meets the complex drainage systems of north-central Oregon. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Greasewood Canyon, Patill Canyon, and Ramsey Canyon, revealing a high-plateau geography dominated by landmarks such as Black Butte and the Cummings Hill Summit.

Further north, the settlement of Mayville serves as a local anchor near the Gilliam Co / Wheeler Co line. For those tracing regional history, the map preserves the locations of the Masonic Cem and Mayville Cem, alongside essential water resources like the Hoover Cr Reservoir. The network of rural routes, including Wehrli Canyon Ln and Cemetery Rd, illustrates the enduring connectivity between these isolated agricultural and ranching settlements.
