Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) 1520 Angstroms, 1620 Angstroms, and 2490 Angstroms observations of a region near the SMC Henize \ha emission object 19 are compared with groundbased data and used to analyze the stellar content and the nature and distribution of dust in the 40 arcmin field. More than 1500 stellar sources are identified on both the 1620 Angstroms (magnitudes \mbfive) and 2490 Angstroms (\maone) UIT images, and 397 are identified in the 1520 Angstroms (\mbone) image. Magnitudes \mbone, \mbfive, \maone, and mB are derived for objects in the field and are used to determine spectral types and extinctions using a least-squares technique, based on a spectrophotometric library compiled from IUE spectra. Results are evaluated for fits using standard Galactic, SMC, and LMC extinction functions, and the spatial distribution of the amount and type of extinction are analyzed. Color-magnitude diagrams for the field are presented, and compared with UIT and ground-based results for the LMC 30-Dor region, Lucke and Hodge LMC associations, and M31 associations.
