A 45' x 30' region around the galatic center was mapped with 1' resolution at 55 ..mu..m and 125 ..mu..m using the Kuiper Airborne Observatory. Peaks in temperature of the dust are correlated with centimeter wavelength thermal continuum sources. The distribution of the column density of dust shows minima at the galactic center (Sgr A) and at the position of an HII region complex (G.07+04) 10' to the North.
