About this map

Wasco serves as the central hub of this Sherman County landscape, where the local street grid including Fulton St and Davis St meets the Wasco State Airport. The area’s genealogical record is well-preserved through several distinct burial sites, including the Wasco Methodist Cem, Sunrise Cem, and the more southern De Moss Cem. South of the main settlement lies De Moss Springs, situated near the confluence of De Moss Canyon and Gordon Hollow.

The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage features such as Spanish Hollow, China Hollow, and Locust Grove Canyon that carve through the high plateaus. These natural contours are mirrored by a network of rural roads like the Old Sherman Hwy and Klondike Rd, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and transport patterns of this portion of north-central Oregon. Local water sources like Kenneth Spring and China Hollow Cr emphasize the importance of water management in this high-elevation wheat-growing region.
