The results of a study of the magnetic field of the Galaxy up to ~3.5 kpc from the Sun by the analysis of interstellar polarization of optical radiation of catalogue stars (Mathewson et al., 1978) are presented. For the regions 90° < l <180° and 300° < l < 360°, where the polarization degree P is maximum, the empirical form is found.
