Geologic map of the MTM 90000 area, Planum Australe region of Mars

Published geologic maps of the south polar region of Mars, made using either Mariner 9 (Condit and Soderbloom, 1978) or Viking Orbiter (Tanaka and Scott, 1987) images, identified only layered deposits of polar ice within this map area. Layered deposits probably underlie all of the other units shown in the map. The residual polar ice cap, partial frost cover, and two low-albedo units are also mappe

Geologic map of the Pompeii Quadrangle (MTM 20057), Maja Valles region of Mars

The Pompeii quadrangle is in the northern Maja Valles between Lunae Planum to the west and Xanthe Terra to the east (fig. 1). Approximately two-thirds of the surface is relatively smooth plains, and the other one-third is subdued, cratered, upland plateau. Several large (greater than 30 km in diameter) craters dominate the landscape. The crater Pompeii is the largest fresh crater in the quadrangle
