(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
