We have surveyed 7.5 deg/sup 2/ of the galactic plane at 70 ..mu..m with a approx.1' beam (Jaffe, Stier, and Fazio). The region lies between l/sup i/I = 10/sup 0/ and l/sup i/I = 16/sup 0/ and includes the M17 and W33 complexes. The weakest of the 42 sources detected had a flux density of 350 Jy at 70 ..mu..m. We present detailed far-infrared, /sup 12/CO, /sup 13/CO, and radio continuum observations of these sources. We discuss the derivation of the important physical parameters of the sources and their surrounding molecular clouds. We also discuss the properties of the individual regions and present maps of selected sources.
