2014 Map of Wasco

About this map

Wasco serves as the primary hub of this high plateau region in Sherman County, where the convergence of Us-97 and Or-206 underscores the town's historical and modern role as a transit point. The landscape is deeply incised by a network of drainage features like Spanish Hollow and China Hollow Cr, revealing the complex topography of the Columbia Plateau. To the south, the smaller settlement of De Moss Springs sits near the head of De Moss Canyon, while Wasco State Airport occupies the level ground east of the city. Genealogists will find notable burial sites including Sunrise Cem and the Wasco Methodist Cem, as well as the De Moss Cem further south. The map documents numerous local family names preserved in the road network, such as Van Gilder Rd and Hilderbrand Ln, which connect the scattered agricultural tracts across Gordon Ridge.
