We present a 74 MHz survey of a 165 square degree region located near the north galactic pole .
This survey has an unprecedented combination of both resolution ( 25 ^ { \prime \prime } FWHM ) and sensitivity ( \sigma as low as 24 mJy/beam ) .
We detect 949 sources at the 5 \sigma level in this region , enough to begin exploring the nature of the 74 MHz source population .
We present differential source counts , spectral index measurements and the size distribution as determined from counterparts in the high resolution FIRST 1.4 GHz survey .
We find a trend of steeper spectral indices for the brighter sources .
Further , there is a clear correlation between spectral index and median source size , with the flat spectrum sources being much smaller on average .
Ultra-steep spectrum objects ( \alpha \leq - 1.2 ; S _ { \nu } \propto S ^ { \nu } ) are identified , and we present high resolution VLA follow-up observations of these sources which , identified at such a low frequency , are excellent candidates for high redshift radio galaxies .
