We present a UBV CCD photometric study of four open clusters , NGC 7245 , King 9 , IC 166 and King 13 , located between l = 90 ^ { o } -135 ^ { o } .
All are embedded in a rich galactic field .
NGC 7245 and King 9 are close together in the sky and have similar reddenings .
The distances and ages are : NGC 7245 , 3.8 \pm 0.35 kpc and 400 Myr ; King 9 ( the most distant cluster in this quadrant ) 7.9 \pm 1.1 kpc and 3.0 Gyr .
King 13 is 3.1 \pm 0.3 kpc distant and 300 Myr old .
King 9 and IC 166 ( 4.8 \pm 0.5 kpc distant & 1 Gyr old ) may be metal poor clusters ( Z=0.008 ) , as estimated from isochrone fitting .
The average value of the distance of young clusters from the galactic plane in the above longitude range and beyond 2 kpc ( - 47 \pm 16 pc , for 64 clusters ) , indicates that the young disk bends towards the southern latitudes .
