We describe a recently completed 1.4 GHz continuum and polarization survey carried out with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. The survey covers the northern Galactic plane in the latitude range of +/- 20 degrees. The most spectacular results are from the polarization maps, which show an unexpected richness in structure with almost no counterpart in total intensity. Variations in the Faraday rotation properties within the nearby magneto-ionic interstellar medium are largely responsible for the observed structures. Numerous Faraday screens are indicated in the maps. However, absolute calibration is quite essential for the interpretation of polarized structures. This needs additional data. We give an outline of the EMLS properties and demonstrate its potential to understand the properties of the interstellar medium.
