This is a ¹²CO map of the L1641 molecular cloud (Bally et al. 1987). Marked on this map are the approximate locations of regions for which near infrared color images have been constructed from observations with imaging detectors at:

The basic paper which discusses the infrared mapping of this cloud is Strom, Strom and Merrill (1993).
