The Sagittarius Arm is a collection of stars, planets, nebulae, and other spatial objects that forms one of many curved "arms" extending from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Sagittarius Arm seemed to extend from the galactic core, a short bit through the Gamma Quadrant, and extend around and towards the center of the Alpha Quadrant. The smaller Orion Arm (or Local Spur), which contained Earth and the Sol system, extended from this arm.
The Sagittarius Arm was shown on Federation star charts in astrometrics aboard the USS Voyager during the later years of its seven-year journey in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Inside Man", et al., display graphic)
In an alternate timeline, the star chart depicting Voyager's flight path home was also displayed in Captain Harry Kim's ready room aboard the USS Rhode Island in 2404. (VOY: "Endgame")
