After some tinkering with 2 images of Janus, I have re-projected and worked on a accurate map for the moon.
The only other surface map i know of is http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/spaceart/cmaps/janusmap.jpg , but its super low resolution. ![]() there was a another image of Janus i wanted to compile in there but i couldn't seem to find the view in relation to a 3d model so i can find the pole of the moon for re-projection and it does line up correctly to the model in Celestia ![]() hope you enjoy this new map (there may still be some minor alignment issues) |

Fun! And thanks for that. How appropriate that your map covers two faces of Janus.
It seems like these images cover part of what is in your map: https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA18369 https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA18299 It seems like this offers a bit of coverage that is best of its kind for this part of Janus: https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA14607 And this image seems like it might bridge much of the uncovered territory in the middle of your map: https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA12714 Another useful one? https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA12602 And the south: https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA11597 I had not kept track of the status of Janus imagery before. Thanks for giving this world its due! |
