A 2 x 2 deg field centered on the position HD 197406 was surveyed in the H I 21-cm line and in the 1420 and 408 MHz radio continuum. The results show the existence of a nearly complete ring-shaped H I shell and a small spherical bubble concentric with the star and immersed within the H I shell. The observations are used to show that HD 197406 has a distance of 4.5 kpc and an Mv = -5.4 mag. It is suggested that the large shell was created during previous evolutionary stages of the binary, while the small bubble was recently blown by the Wolf-Rayet wind.
