A sensitive 10°×15° 13-cm map made of the CMa OB1 H II regions' radio emission shows a strong similarity to Hα emission photographs. Sharpless 296 is shown to consist of a prominent central and western arc completed by a weaker southern loop, and with a faint northern bar. The emission is thermal, superimposed over a predominantly non-thermal background. The H142α recombination line has been detected at eight positions in S296, and in S292 and S297. The average electron temperature in S296 is 6900±1300K. The UV fluxes from the CMa OB1 stars account for the observed emission measures of the H II regions. The H142α spectral line velocities indicate that the ionized material is in contact with the molecular clouds.
