We have imaged an 11.5 deg² region of sky toward the South Ecliptic Pole (R.A. =04^h43^m, decl. =-53°40', J2000) at 24 and 70 µm with MIPS, the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. This region is coincident with a field mapped at longer wavelengths by AKARI and BLAST. We discuss our data reduction and source extraction procedures. The median 1σ depths of the maps are 47 µJy/beam at 24 µm and 4.3 mJy/beam at 70 µm. At 24 µm, we identify 93,098 point sources with signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) ≥5 and an additional 63 resolved galaxies; at 70 µm we identify 891 point sources with S/N ≥ 6. From simulations, we determine a false detection rate of 1.8% (1.1%) for the 24 µm (70 µm) catalog. The 24 and 70 µm point-source catalogs are 80% complete at 230 µJy and 11 mJy, respectively. These mosaic images and source catalogs will be available to the public through the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive.
