Data

The Systematic mapping of lava flow units in the Tharsis region has been compiled into a series of 16 maps at 1:2,000,000 scale. This work provides information on the sources and areal extent of the lava flows, on their eruptive sequences and relative ages, and on relations between the flows and geologic structure in the largest, most active tectonic and volcanic province on Mars. Some of the maps

The Arcadia quadrangle of Mars contains three distinct geologic provinces: (1) the 1000-km-diameter shield volcano of Alba Patera, which occupies the southwestern quadrant; (2) the complex Tempe province, which comprises a number of younger volcanic and sedimentary blanket deposits over an ancient, highly cratered crust forming a plateau in the southeastern quadrant; and (3) a plains province, con

Mangala Valles are a system of outflow channels cut into Terra Sirenum that appear to originate from a fracture of Memnonia Fossae radial to the Tharsis volcanic center (about 1,800 km to the east).

Kasei Valles (fig. 1) make up the largest system of outflow channels on Mars and were a major contributor of water to Chryse Planitia. The walls and floors of the Kasei channels are terraced and grooved, closely resembling the channeled scablands of eastern Washington State that were formed by catastrophic floods probably lasting no more than a few days (Baker and Milton, 1974; Baker and Kochel, 1

The Pompeii quadrangle is in northern Maja Valles region between Lunae Palum to the west and Xanthe Terra to the east. Approximately two-thirds of the surface is a relatively smooth plain, and the other one-third is subdued, cratered, upland plateau. The crater Pompeii is the largest fresh crater in the quadrangle. The major interest in the map area is evidence of the relatively brief, catastrophi

The region centered at Elysium Mons contains that second largest volcanic complex on Mars, surpassed in size by only the Tharsis complex. The Elysium region also has been a center of tectonic, fluvial, and mass-wasting activity. After degradation of ancient cratered terrain within the northern lowlands, volcanic rocks erupted from Elysium Mons, Hectas Tholus, and Albor Tholus in Elysium Planitia.

This map is one in a series of 1:500,000-scale geologic maps initiated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to investigate areas of particular scientific interest on Mars. The north Kasei Valles area (fig. 1) merits detailed geologic study because it contains part of a large channel system whose age can be determined relative to geologic units that range in age from early intermedi

This map is one in a series of 1:500,000-scale geologic maps initiated by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration to investigate areas of particular scientific interest on Mars. The west Mangala Valles area merits detailed geologic study because it contains several small channels whose ages can be determined relative to geologic units that range in age from early (Noachian) to late (Amazo
