Filament 7 lies within $\approx$ 20 pc of the physical galactic midplane. The background is a GLIMPSE Spitzer 8 $\micron$ $\mu\textrm{m}$  image. The dashed line is color-coded by \citet{Dame_2011} LSR velocity and indicates the location of the physical galactic midplane. The solid colored lines indicate $\pm$ 20 pc from the galactic midplane at the 3.1 kpc distance to filament 7. The colored dots within the yellow box are sources belonging to filament 7, labeled "H'', and "M", for HOPS and MALT90 ,respectively. The label "with tilt" indicates that both the Sun's 25 pc elevation above the IAU mid-plane and the small tilt of the plane caused by the offset of the Galactic Center from the IAU (0,0) have been accounted for in this view. A closer look at filament 7 can be seen in the lower panel.
