We have conducted a Chandra survey of a ∼0.°7 × 2° swath along the Galactic central ridge. This survey has resulted in the first arcsecond‐resolution X‐ray panorama of high‐energy objects and their interaction with the unique environment of the center region. We review our ongoing studies and follow‐up observations as well as the results from the survey.
