It also contains bridges and spurs! I was looking for wide images of the Perseus arm but I can't think of a good search term 
Though it has a number of well-know objects but I was hoping someone had attempted to depict how this dim arm sits in the night sky.

I found this picture, but I don't know if it helps.
You may want to check out this page, however. A guy(? - yes, probably) has set himself the task of observing numerous targets in what he claims is the Perseus Arm. You may want to see what objects this guy thinks are in the Perseus Arm.
