We describe the FUSE observations of the OVI-1031/1037 absorption line toward ~140 extra-galactic targets. We summarize the parameters of the survey, the data reduction, and present some examples. Using this dataset we make the first maps of Galactic gas at temperatures of 105 K, in 50 km/s velocity intervals ranging from -500 to +500 km/s. We discuss the angular structure of the OVI and compare this to that of HI. A more detailed analysis of the physical properties of the hot Milky Way halo is presented by Savage et al. at this conference.
