\textit{Top}: Position-velocity diagram of CO, NH$_{3}$, N$_2$H$+$ and HCO$^+$ emission for BC\_11.13-0.12. Blue background shows $^{12}$CO (1-0) emission integrated between $-1 < \textrm{b} < 1$ degrees \citep{Dame_2001}. Black dots show HOPS, BGPS, and MALT90 sources associated with BC\_11.13-0.12. The black lines are fits to CO data for the Scutum-Centaurus arm, from \citet{Dame_2011} and \citet{Shane_1972}. \textit{Bottom}: Plane of the sky map integrated between 55-75 15-35  km/s, the approximate velocity range of the Scutum-Centaurus arm in the region around BC\_11.13-0.12. A trace of BC\_11.13-0.12, as it would appear as a mid-IR extinction feature, is superimposed on the CO emission map. The correlation between BC\_11.13-0.12's mid-IR extinction feature and the Scutum-Centaurus's arm most intense CO emission hints that BC\_11.13-0.12 may be a spine of Scutum as traced by lower density CO gas
