This investigation presents a study of the Galactic structure toward the Norma section of the Milky Way. The field studied is located between 325{deg} and 335{deg} Galactic longitude and -8{deg} to 8{deg} Galactic latitude. New observations in the uvby{beta} system are combined with all uvby{beta} data currently available to collate a sample of 130 O and B stars. A uniform procedure is applied to obtain the color excesses and stellar distances for all of the stars in the sample. The sample is magnitude limited to about V=9.5mag and contains the brightest stars of the open clusters NGC 6087 and Ly 6, the field 2158 of Loden, the OB association Nor OB1, and stars located in the directions of R 103 and R 105.
