Maps of the diffuse soft X-ray background intensity are presented, spanning four energy intervals. The lowest energy interval (0.18-0.56 keV) is dominated by local emission, while the next two intervals (0.56-1.0 keV and 1.0-1.4 keV) reveal more distant and more sharply defined structures. Enlarged maps of several of these structures are presented, including the North Polar Spur, the Galactic Center region and the Eridanus Loop.
