Plane of the sky map integrated between -55-35 km/s, the approximate velocity range of the Scutum-Centaurus arm in the region around BC\_332.21-0.04. filament 10.  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 3.3 kpc distance to BC\_332.21-0.04, filament 10,  assuming the candidate is associated with the \citet{Dame_2011} Scutum-Centaurus model. A trace of BC\_332.21-0.04, filament 10,  as it would appear as a mid-IR extinction feature, is superimposed on the CO emission map. The correlation between BC\_332.21-0.04's filament 10's  mid-IR extinction feature and the Scutum-Centaurus's arm more intense CO emission hints that BC\_332.21-0.04 it  may be a spine of Scutum-Centaurus as traced by lower density CO gas.
