Fundamental Science Practices
USGS provides unbiased, objective, and impartial scientific information upon which our audiences, including resource managers, planners, and other entities, rely.
USGS provides unbiased, objective, and impartial scientific information upon which our audiences, including resource managers, planners, and other entities, rely.
Our programs produce accurate geologic maps and 3-D geologic frameworks that provide critical data for sustaining and improving the quality of life and economic vitality of the Nation. They also organize, maintain, and publish the geospatial baseline of the Nation's topography, natural landscape, built environment and more.

Geologic map of the Aristoteles Quadrangle of the Moon Geologic map of the Aristoteles Quadrangle of the Moon
The Aristoteles quadrangle, located on the northeastern periphery of the Imbrium basin on the near side of the Moon, consist of four physiographic provinces: a northern mountainous belt, chiefly of lineated crater rims and other lineated terra; a middle-northern belt covered by mare material of Mare Frigoris; and a southern belt composed of mountainous material of diverse characteristics...

Geologic map of the Clavius Quadrangle of the Moon Geologic map of the Clavius Quadrangle of the Moon
The Clavius quadrangle is in the southern lunar highlands about 500 km south of the Mare Nubium and 150 km south of the large young crater Tycho. This part of the Moon is characterized by densely cratered topography and the absence of mare materials. Geologic units in the quadrangle cannot be directly correlated with those in the vicinity of Mare Imbrium, 2500 km to the north, which...
Geologic map of the Cleomedes Quadrangle of the Moon Geologic map of the Cleomedes Quadrangle of the Moon
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...
Geologic map of the Colombo Quadrangle of the Moon Geologic map of the Colombo Quadrangle of the Moon
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...
Geologic map of the Eudoxus Quadrangle of the Moon Geologic map of the Eudoxus Quadrangle of the Moon
The Eudoxus quadrangle is in the northeastern part of the Moon’s nearside hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by Montes Caucasus, which form part of the main rim of the multi-ring Imbrium basin (Hartmann and Kuiper, 1962), and on the south side by Mare Serenitatis, which occupies another large multi-ringed basin. South and east of the prominent crater Eudoxus elevations decrease and...
Geologic map of the Flamsteed K region of the Moon (Lunar Orbiter site III P-12, Oceanus Procellarum) Geologic map of the Flamsteed K region of the Moon (Lunar Orbiter site III P-12, Oceanus Procellarum)
The Flamsteed K region is in the southern part of Oceanus Procellarum, approximately 60 km (kilometers) north of the crater Flamsteed and 330 km southwest of the crater Kepler. The region was photographed by Lunar Orbiters I and III; it includes the landing site of Surveyor I and a potential early Apollo landing site. The area is included in a 1:1,000,000-scale map by Marshall (1962).
Geologic map of the Fracastorius Quadrangle of the Moon Geologic map of the Fracastorius Quadrangle of the Moon
The multi-ringed Nectaris basin (Hartmann and Kuiper, 1962) dominates the Fracastorius quadrangle. The basin is 840 km across as measured from the outermost ring and lies athwart four quadrangles. Fracastorius, the southeastern quadrangle, straddles the three rings of the basin (fig. 1). In this quadrangle most pre-Imbrian structures and many depositions were formed by the Nectaris...
