Geologic map of the Cebrenia Quadrangle of Mars
January 9, 2023
Most of the Cebrenia quadrangle (lat 30 degrees to 65 degrees N., long 180 degrees to 240 degrees W.) is in the circumpolar plains of Mars. Craters from an early episode of intense bombardment have been largely obliterated by later volcanism, tectonism, erosion and sedimentation by wind and water, and by circumpolar glacial and periglacial processes. South of 47 degrees N. the plains are dissected by numerous channels, most of which drained off abroad volcanic upland near the southern border of the quadrangle. The impressive Elysium volcanoes cap the crest of this upland; their northernmost member, Hectates Tholus, lies within the Cebrenia quadrangle.
