Abstract
We present recent work on characterizing and observing filamentation in the interstellar medium in the central 200 pc of the Galaxy. The observations presented here are 4.9 GHz radio polarimetric observations made with the Very Large Array and Paschen-alpha line observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS camera. In addition, we illustrate how such measurements relate to the overall configuration of the magnetic field structure in the Galactic Center region.
