We have observed the star formation cluster NGC 2071 IRS 1, 2, and 3, with 0.14 sec spatial resolution at 2 cm. The strong source IRS 1 breaks up into a bright peak sitting on a narrow line emission extending over about 400 AU, with three much weaker peaks. This ridge, which has a p.a. = 100 deg, is not aligned with any of the other structures that have previously been seen around IRS 1: its orientation is about 55 deg from the CO outflow direction, and 35 deg from a hypothetical disk direction. The spectral and spatial results, combined with earlier radio and infrared observations, indicate that most likely the radio and infrared emission from the exciting source, IRS 1, is produced by a dense wind hidden by at least 100 visual magnitudes of extinction; the extended ridge of emission comes from an optically thin H II region with characteristic dimensions of approximately AU and which may result from a clumpy distribution of local gas and dust.
