We discuss the galactic distribution of 450 sources detected by the EUVE sa
tellite that have reliable distance estimates. Late-type stars dominate the
nearby EUV source distribution, whereas the majority of EUV source detecti
ons with distances > 100pc are hot white dwarf stars. The galactic distribu
tion of all these sources is non-uniform with number enhancements seen towa
rds the Hyades cluster, in line-of-sight along the beta CMa interstellar tu
nnel and towards high galactic latitudes in both hemispheres. A comparison
of the distribution of these EUV sources with that of the neutral absorptio
n boundary of the Local Bubble region derived from the interstellar NaI obs
ervations of Sfeir et al. (1999) reveals that vast majority of EUV sources
are contained within this neutral boundary. However, at high galactic latit
udes 20 extragalactic EUV sources have been detected along lines-of-sight w
ith low neutral column density, and is consistent with the local interstell
ar cavity being "open-ended" in the galactic halo. This "Local Chimney" ope
ns towards two regions of enhanced intensity of the 0.25 keV soft X-ray bac
kground emission at high galactic latitudes. Although the hot Local Bubble
gas is still contained within a cold, neutral interstellar gas boundary in
the galactic plane, it has probably expanded into the halo to produce the L
ocal Chimney feature.
