Maps in three energy bands from the recently-completed Wisconsin survey of the soft X-ray sky are presented. The lowest energy data require emission, almost certainly from hot interstellar gas, from regions within 100 pc of the sun. The data do not require diffuse emission from beyond the neutral galactic gas but are compatible with such emission under certain assumptions.
