Main molecular clouds in the Cygnus region. Red: Cygnus 1.3 North at l > 80° (Schneider Group II, 1.3 kpc) and Cygnus 1.3 South at l < 80° (part of Schneider Group IV, 1.3 kpc). Orange: Cygnus North Filament at l > 80° (Schneider Group I, 1.5 kpc) and Cygnus SFR South at l < 80° (part of Schneider Group IV, unknown distance >1.4 kpc). Pink: Cygnus South Filament (part of Schneider Group IV, unknown distance > 1.4 kpc). Green: Cygnus Central Clumps (Schneider Group III, 1.6–1.8 kpc). Dark blue at high latitude: Cygnus West, unknown distance (>1.4 kpc). Turquoise: S106 regions (described in Schneider et al. 2007, 1.6–1.8 kpc). The grey background shows foreground clouds: the North-America and Pelican nebulae on the left, the North-West clouds, and the Rift lane extending to the right in the direction to the Galactic Centre.
