Emission from interstellar dust in L 1641 and Mon R2 was mapped with three arcminute resolution at 400 microns wavelength from White Mountain, California at 3.9 km elevation. Dust brightness distributions and 13CO antenna temperatures are shown below with equal linear scales, emphasizing that the core of Mon R2 is considerably larger and more massive than the core of the Orion region containing OMC-1 and OMC-2. Dust and 13CO brightness distributions for each object are similar, but some of the differences may be real. The differences become accentuated when mass distributions are compared.
