High Resolution Millimeter-Wave Mapping of Linearly Polarized Dust Emission Magnetic Field

We present 1.3 and 3.3 mm polarization maps of Orion-KL obtained with the BIMA array at approximately 4 arcsec resolution. Thermal emission from magnetically aligned dust grains produces the polarization. Along the Orion ``ridge'' the polarization position
