Observations have been made of the supernova remnant 3C 58 with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 6 and 49 cm. These measurements provide us with greater resolution and sensitivity than that attained with previously published data. The 49 cm map has been used for comparison with an existing 21 cm one (Wilson and Weiler, 1976) to obtain information on the spectral index, rotation measure and depolarization. The 6 cm map is valuable both for its greater resolution, and for comparing with an observation made with the same instrument eight years previously. The total intensity distribution is shown in Figure 1.
