High-resolution (3 arcsec) aperture synthesis maps in the J = 2 to 1 transition of CO-18 have been obtained for the star formation regions DR 21(OH) and L1551 IRS 5. Two compact sources, separated by 7 arcsec, have been discovered at the centers of H2O maser activity associated with DR 21(OH). Mass estimates from the 1.4 mm continuum and CO-18 line emission are similar to the 110 solar masses required for a bound system with the observed 4 km/s radial velocity difference, suggesting that a massive multiple star system is forming. The CO-18 emission from L1551 IRS 5 is extended in an elongated structure of radius 700 AU and mass of 0.1 solar masses.
