Maps of 212 extragalactic radio sources at 4.9 GHz are shown in Stokes I along with linear polarization vectors. The objects have a declination range of 0° to -35° and were chosen from the Hewitt & Burbidge quasar catalog with a spectral index less than -0.5 and the NVSS survey with a minimum 1.4 GHz flux density greater than 300 mJy. The observations were made with the Very Large Array in its B configuration, and the images have a typical resolution of 2''. One hundred ninety-five objects were resolved; 108 of the sources are quasars, and another 51 have been identified as galaxies.
