Maps

Our programs produce accurate geologic maps and 3-D geologic frameworks that provide critical data for sustaining and improving the quality of life and economic vitality of the Nation. They also organize, maintain, and publish the geospatial baseline of the Nation's topography, natural landscape, built environment and more.

(LAC-11) Geologic map of the J. Herschel quadrangle of the moon

Lunar surface materials are classed into units on the basis of visual observations and data from telescopic and Lunar Orbiter photographs. Each unit has a distinctive range of physical characteristics, such as topography and albedo (reflectivity under full-Moon illumination), and is considered analogous to a terrestrial rock-stratigraphic formation.  These characteristics rather than lithologic pr

(LAC-24) Geologic map of the Sinus Iridum quadrangle of the moon

The Sinus Iridum quadrangle includes the northwestern sector of Mare Imbrium, the Sinus Iridum embayment, the arcuate Montes Jura which partly surround Sinus Iridum, and several terra islands in the mare such as the Montes Teneriffe, Montes recti, and C. Herschel *. Mare imbrium occupies a complex depression or basin consisting of an inner basin and several outer concentric troughs separated by ra

(ORB II-13 (100)) Geologic map of the Maestlin G region of the moon, Lunar Orbiter site II P-13, Oceanus Procellarum, including Apollo landing site 5

This map shows the geology in and around potential early Apollo landing site 5 in the lunar equatorial belt. The Maestlin G region is in Oceanus Procellarum, about midway between the crater Kepler to the northeast and Flamsteed to the southwest. Terra materials occur only in the northeast corner of the region. Dark mare covers the remainder, and the entire region is crossed by rays from Kepler. Th

(RLC-14) Geologic map of the Alphonsus region of the moon

This 1:250,000- scale geologic map is one of a series prepared largely from photographs transmitted by Ranger IX (reproduced in a report by Jet Propulsion Lab., 1966). It depicts the geology of the crater Alphonsus (in which Ranger IX impacted) and environs. The primary objective of the mapping was to apply extant lunar mapping techniques used on relatively small scale telescopic photographs to th

(RLC-15) Geologic map of the Alphonsus GA region of the moon

This map is one of a series prepared from photographs transmitted by Ranger IX (Jet Propulsion Lab., 1966., pls. A56-A58, B70-B82). It depicts the geology of some 724 sq km in the northeast part of the floor of Alphonsus (diameter about 115 km), a typical flat-floored old terra crater or basin with subdued rim. Similar basins abound in the south-central tarrae of the visible hemisphere and on the
