New VLBA parallaxes for four masers refine the Perseus arm position and pitch angle in the first Galactic quadrant, with extrapolation showing intersection with the Sagittarius arm at 200° azimuth and 5.6 kpc radius.
Kinematic distances for 66 pulsars are computed from archival HI radial velocities using a modern Galactic rotation curve and show agreement with independent parallax measurements within 1 sigma for nearly all objects with both.
