VLA observations of the H2CO 6 cm line associated with OMC-1 at a resolution of several arcsec are reported. Maps are constructed with dominant features from high-density regions. The dominant emission condensation is located near the Kleinmann-Low (KL) nebula and is centered near IRc5; it is 0.06 x 0.03 pc in size, and its peak main brightness of 9 K implies that the H2CO excitation is thermal. The dominant absorption condensation is approximately 2 arcmin south of KL and is 30 arcsec or less in size. Its peak brightness temperature is -5 K, from which it is inferred that the clump is probably behind the H II region. The other weaker absorption and emission features are consistent with sizes greater than 15 arcsec and show clumpy structures.
