I have recently freaked out a little bit about Martian maps of all sorts. And finally I was astonished with those highly detailed beauties that I list below. Nonetheless. some of them have huge inconsistencies (crater names) easily noticed when we compare the surroundings of Gusev crater. Enjoy:

I have uploaded new (fifth) version of my topographic map of Mars (14 MB jpg):
Most of changes are related to the new names on Mars. Those names can be found on USGS page. Here is map as PDF (57 MB!). -------------------- |

Thank you machi, wonderful map. I spent quite some time browsing around on it.
A map like this gives one really good context for what Mars is like. And thank you for posting the old maps, some of them do indeed remind me of what Mars looks like in a telescope. I have seen the bows and hook shape, though the map by Beer and Madler does not look much to how I remember Mars trough the ocular - that's one oddball. Also I took a look of the highest and lowest points, so rest assured that your blog might be of interest. |
