The nearby ( 600 pc) North America and Pelican nebulae are regions of high mass star-formation beyond our local neighborhood and little-studied to date - however, both are well within the sensitivity regime provided by the Spitzer Space Telescope. We have conducted a large infrared imaging survey with Spitzer of these regions; our IRAC (3-8 microns) map covers 9 square deg and our MIPS (24-160 microns) map covers nearly 10 square degrees. We have also obtained BVI CCD imaging for the 2x2 degrees central region. This poster presents results from the MIPS survey of this region, which reveals, among other things, the dramatic "Gulf of Mexico" cluster containing 100s of YSOs and regions opaque even at 70 um.
