We report on VLBI observations of a water maser source associated with the Sgr D Hiiregion, which is a bright radio continuum source in the direction of the Galactic center region. The absolute proper motions and the distance measured by VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) were (μαcos δ, μδ) = (−1.32 ± 0.15 mas yr−1, −2.86 ± 0.34 mas yr−1) and, respectively. The line-of-sight velocity of the water maser emission is similar to that of the H91α recombination line emission detected at the Sgr D Hiiregion. The spatial position and line-of-sight velocity of the water maser emission indicate that this source is physically associated with the extended Hiisource seen under radio continuum observations. Thus, our results suggest that the Sgr D Hiiregion is located in the Scutum arm of the Galactic disk. We discuss this new view of the Sgr D complex, based on the parallax and proper motions.
