In 1967 space artist Ludek Pesek wrote 'Log of a Moon Expedition' a curious work which, when I encountered it in high school had the feel of being written much earlier.

Recently I've been trying to locate a copy of this book and his later Mars Expedition book 'The Earth is Near' and found a few pages scanned, including the map I'm linking to below. The map shows the area in which the story takes place and seems to be based on telescopic images. But is it of a real location on the lunar surface or did he make it up out of the whole cloth?

Very interesting map ... (what we really need a working 'image search engine' ...a million dollar app)
