The Census of High- and Medium-mass Protostars (CHaMP) is the firstlarge-scale, unbiased, uniform mapping survey at sub-parsec scale resolution of90 GHz line emission from massive molecular clumps in the Milky Way. We presentthe first Mopra (ATNF) maps of the CHaMP survey region (300{\deg}>l>280{\deg})in the HCO+ J=1-0 line, which is usually thought to trace gas at densities upto 10^11 m-3. In this paper we introduce the survey and its strategy, describethe observational and data reduction procedures, and give a complete catalogueof moment maps of the HCO+ J=1-0 emission from the ensemble of 301 massivemolecular clumps. From these maps we also derive the physical parameters of theclumps, using standard molecular spectral-line analysis techniques. Thisanalysis yields the following range of properties: integrated line intensity1-30 K km s-1, peak line brightness 1-7 K, linewidth 1-10 km s-1, integratedline luminosity 0.5-200 K km s-1 pc^2, FWHM size 0.2-2.5 pc, mean projectedaxial ratio 2, optical depth 0.08-2, total surface density 30-3000 M{\sun}pc-2, number density 0.2-30 x 10^9 m-3, mass 15-8000 M{\sun}, virial parameter1-55, and total gas pressure 0.3-700 pPa. We find that the CHaMP clumps do notobey a Larson-type size-linewidth relation. Among the clumps, there exists alarge population of subthermally excited, weakly-emitting (but easilydetectable) dense molecular clumps, confirming the prediction of Narayanan etal. (2008). These weakly-emitting clumps comprise 95% of all massive clumps bynumber, and 87% of the molecular mass, in this portion of the Galaxy; theirproperties are distinct from the brighter massive star-forming regions that aremore typically studied. If the clumps evolve by slow contraction, the 95% offainter clumps may represent a long-lived stage of pressure-confined,gravitationally stable massive clump evolution, while the CHaMP ...
