For the \\textit{Gaia} data, we identify and select two populations of stars in the Bridge region, young main sequence (MS) and red giant stars. The spatial locations of the stars are compared against the known H {\\small I} gas structure, finding a correlation between the MS stars and the H {\\small I} gas.
