Radio continuum observations were made of 59 IRAS sources that have 100{mu}m flux densities >=1000Jy and far-infrared colors identified with ultracompact (UC) HII regions. Eighty percent were found to have associated compact radio sources. Seventy-five sources were detected at <~1" resolution at 3.6 and 2cm wavelengths, for which we provide contour plots and flux density distributions ranging from the radio to the near-infrared. Over half are unresolved and their morphologies undetermined. The remaining sources can be described by only five morphological classes, whose frequency of occurrence is consistent with that of the Wood and Churchwell survey (1989ApJS...69..831W). We calculate physical properties of the nebulae and show that they are consistent with UC photoionized regions. Alternative explanations are explored and found to be unlikely. The correlation of UC HII region positions with proposed spiral arms is examined and found to be well correlated only for the local spiral arm or "spur". No obvious enhancement of UC HII regions is apparent along the proposed Sagittarius and Scutum arms, probably because of inaccuracies in the kinematic distances. We find the latitude distribution of UC HII regions to lie in the range 0.5deg<[b_FWHM_]=10^5^. By applying the results of model atmospheres, it is shown that this ratio depends on spectral type, ranging from ~10^3^ for an O4 star to >=10^5^ for a B3 star. We find that many of the UC HII regions in our sample must be excited by a cluster of stars, and most probably contain significant amounts of dust.
