The structure and origin of Loop III, a large-scale inhomogeneity at the radio sky, are investigated on the basis of observations made of the linear polarization in a sky region. The brightness temperatures of the total radio emission and the polarization component, averaged over the longitudinal interval 120-160 deg, are found to have similar dependences on the galactic latitude at +4 to +20 deg. It is concluded that the linearly polarized component is generated in the depth of the galactic arm, and the spatial distribution is explained by the structure of the magnetic field in the arm.
