Plane of the sky map integrated between -50-30 km/s, the approximate velocity range of the Scutum-Centaurus arm in the region around BC\_335.31-0.29. The black dashed line indicates the location of the physical galactic midplane, while the solid black lines indicate $\pm$ 20 pc from the galactic midplane at the 3.2 kpc distance to BC\_335.31-0.29, assuming the candidate is associated with the \citet{Dame_2011} Scutum-Centaurus model.  A trace of BC\_335.31-0.29, as it would appear as a mid-IR extinction feature, is superimposed on the CO emission map. The correlation between BC\_335.31-0.29's mid-IR extinction feature and the Scutum-Centaurus's arm more intense CO emission hints that BC\_335.31-0.29 may be a spine of Scutum as traced by lower density CO gas
