We present a new high signal to noise ratio spectroscopic survey of the Northern hemisphere to probe the Local Bubble and its surroundings using the $\lambda 5780$ \AA\ and $\lambda 5797$ \AA\ Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs). We observed 432 sightlines to a distance of 200 pc over a duration of 3 years. In this study, we establish the $\lambda 5780$ and $\lambda 5797$ correlations with Na I, Ca II and E(B-V), for both inside and outside the Local Bubble. The correlations show that among all neutral and ionized atoms, the correlation between Ca II and $\lambda5780$ is stronger than its correlation with $\lambda5797$, suggesting that $\lambda5780$ is more associated with regions where Ca$^{+}$ is more abundant. We study the $\lambda5780$ correlation with $\lambda5797$, which shows a tight correlation within and outside the Local Bubble. In addition we investigate the DIB properties in UV irradiated and UV shielded regions. We find that, within and beyond the Local Bubble, $\lambda5797$ is located in denser parts of clouds, protected from UV irradiation, while $\lambda5780$ is located in the low density regions of clouds.

    A 3D map of the Local Bubble from λ5780 and λ5797 DIBs reveals lower 5797/5780 ratios inside, indicating the λ5780 carrier withstands hot-gas destruction better than the λ5797 carrier.
