Radio and UV Observations of High Latitude HIInterstellar Lyman alpha observations toward high latitude stars, which give the column density of H I between Earth and the star, and 21 cm radio observations, which give the total H I column density to and beyond the star, can be combined to map out the amount of neutral gas as a function of distance from the Sun. Observations of the 21 cm and Lyman alpha lines made toward approximately 50 high latitude OB stars are presented. These data are used to discuss the distribution of H I in the solar neighborhood.
