Using the Bracewell algorithm and a method of standard cleaning a Crab nebula radio map is synthesized with the resolution 20arcsec×35arcsec from strip distributions obtained during lunar occultations in 1982 - 1983. Dimensions of the extended elliptical structure amount to 300arcsec×400arcsec at the 4% level of the peak intensity. The brightness distribution has a maximum at 10arcsec to the south-east from the pulsar and a number of local brightenings. At the distance of ≡20arcsec to the north-west from the center a gap in the intensity distribution is observed in the form of a strip with the width ⪉15arcsec and PA ≈ 12°. The radio emission at the level ⪆0.5 comes from a region inside ≡70arcsec from the center, except the north-west direction in which it extends up to 120arcsec.
