The importance of magnetic fields to the evolution of dense interstellar clouds and to the star formation process is now widely appreciated. Troland (this volume) has reviewed work to measure strengths of interstellar magnetic fields by observation of the Zeeman effect in radio frequency spectral lines. The next step is to map magnetic fields with radio synthesis arrays in order to obtain high spatial resolution. This abstract is a preliminary report of VIA results for two clouds - the W 3 region of massive star formation (to be published by Troland, Crutcher, Goss, and Heiles) and S 106, a biconical H II region with a confining molecular disk (to be published by Loushin, Crutcher, and Troland).
