Observations of BD + 30 deg 3639, NGC 6572, NGC 6590, and NGC 7027 were made at 6 cm and 20 cm with the VLA. From these data, two-dimensional distributions of temperature, emission measure, and optical depth assuming a constant line-of-sight temperature were derived. The temperature and emission-measure distributions, in general, are not similar. Temperatures for the four nebulae greatly vary, from a low of about 6000 K to a high of about 14,000 K. The results of NGC 7027 are especially interesting, since the temperature distribution is similar to the optical image.
