Am I correctly recalling that Nasa/USGS was producing topographic maps of the Martian surface at least as far back as the Viking missions?

I never saw a contoured one, but I do have several of the USGS airbrushed Mariner 9 maps circa 1973-74...beautiful things, used to look at them for hours (esp. Tharsis).
