The H-II region W51 has been mapped in the near-infrared H and K wavebands with a resolution of about 6 arcsec over an area of about 14 sq arcsec. The W51 IRS 1 source has been resolved into six components, and an arc-like extension of small H-II regions is found that seems to parallel the edge of the molecular cloud. Measurements of the fluxes and extinctions of these sources are presented. A close correspondence is noted between the present K maps and the radio maps of Scott (1978).
