Now we are down safely I am starting a map thread. Everything that happens during 2021 will be covered in my still-in-progress atlas, so I have to make the maps for that and everyone can follow as they evolve.
Let me know if any feature names start to show up. Preliminary map even though not much has happened yet. But if you look closely you will see something, even now. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I did find a slightly earlier frame of the Rover Lookdown camera which has a bit of the current location and is higher resolution than the HiRISE mosaic. It is a bit blurry because the Descent Stage had not fully stabilized and is from a more oblique perspective. But the registration went pretty well. Here is how the map looks with that frame (and higher contrast):
The width of the traverse path is 0.5 m. The boulders are imaged quite a bit better than in the HiRISE mosaic. -------------------- --
