The Casius quadrangle (30 degrees N to 65 degrees N lat; 240 degrees W to 300 degrees W long) is one of the northern tier of Lambert conformal sheets of the Mars Atlas. It consists of four distinctive physiographic regions: 1) part of the northern cratered plain which forms an incomplete annulus around the north polar region, 2) smooth lowland plains of Utopia Planitia across the central...

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...

The Cleomedes quadrangle is broadly divisible into three provinces. First, the north half of Mare Crisium dominates the southern part of the area. Second, terra materials occur in concentric bands that alternate with mare or plains forming materials in the northern part. These bands are interrupted by the crater Cleomedes whose associated materials dominate the northwest part of the map...

Relative ages of structures and geologic units have been determined from intersection and apparent overlap relations and from morphologic freshness reflecting degree of preservation. The fivefold crater-age sequence is based on the classification of Shoemaker and Hackman (1962), and corresponds broadly to a modified classification of Pohn and Offield (1970) and Offield (1971). Rock units...

The Coprates quadrangle lies to the east of the Tharsis volcanic complex and the Noctis Labyrinthus tectonic complex. To the north are the plains of Lunae Planum, to the east the vast patches of chaotic terrain and the large sinuous channels that trend northward into Chryse Planitia. On the southwest is the Thaumasia Fossae region of tectonically deformed cratered terrain, to the...

The brightly rayed crater Coperincus, one of the most familiar features of the Moon served as the type example of an impact crater in Shoemaker's (1962) classic analysis. This map shows the geology of the crater as interpreted in photographs taken by Lunar Orbiter V. A geologic map at 1:1,000,000 scale showing the regional setting of Copernicus and the extent of the rim deposits and...
