I'm trying to track down a map of Mars for a friend who remembers seeing it years ago but no longer has a copy. As best as I can tell from the description, it was one of the earliest global maps made, and so presumably published soon after Mariner 9; and it seems to have been projected in two hemispheric maps, one centered on 0° longitude and the other on 180° longitude. I expect that if anyone can remember such a map, it would be somebody here. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Oh yeah! I forgot it was in three parts. When I get to my office tomorrow I will look through my maps and see if I can find another in two hemispheres. But now you point that out, I can't think of one now. The US Geological Survey, makers of most Mars maps, has not done one in two hemispheres, I am pretty sure. I think Edmund Scientific has a Mars map in two hemispheres, but it's much more recent.
