In a 5°×5° region the distribution of absorbing matter and O-B2 stars are investigated. The presence of a dust clouds complex at 0.8 kpc, which provides the main part of the observed CO emission is revealed. The infrared source CRL 961 is shown to belong to this complex and to be forming a B2 star of the age of ≡3×106 years. The distance of the supernova remnant Mon Loop is also 0.8 kpc. All these objects seem to belong to a star formation region related to NGC 2264. The Rosette nebula and the associated cluster NGC 2244 belong to a star formation region in the Perseus spiral arm at 1.7 kpc distance. Clouds collision is probably responsible for massive star clusters formation.
