Extinction maps from stars with ﹩12,000\ \mathrm{K}\,< T_{E}< 45,000\ \mathrm{K}\,﹩ (top) and stars with ﹩5500\ \mathrm{K}\,< T_{E}< 6500\ \mathrm{K}\,﹩ (bottom) for the region shown in Fig. 1. The lower image has been smoothed with a Gaussian of 1.5 map pixel dispersion to clarify any structures. The brightnesses of the images are identically scaled (from ﹩A_{V}=0﹩ [white] to ﹩A_{V}=0.75﹩ [black]). The small vertical bar to the right of the images marks the position of a scan known to have nonphotometric I‐band data.
