The MILLIPOL polarimeter has been used to obtain 30-arcsec resolution 1300-micron data toward 10 cloud cores; the seven that were detected are associated with compact H II regions in massive molecular clouds. Cloud-core axis ratios and position angles were derived by examining the morphologies of IRAS-traced dust opacity structures. The MILLIPOL-detected cloud cores exhibit 1.5-3.2 core axis ratio values. The magnetic field is found to be generally perpendicular to the core dust distributions.
