The USGS address for maps of the planets is: ! U.S. Geological Survey, ! Distribution Branch, ! Box 25286, Federal Center, Bldg. 41 ! Denver, CO 80225 ! Maps cost $2.40 to $3.10 per sheet (a few come in sets of 2 or 3 sheets). - The best global maps of Mars based on Viking images are 1:15,000,000 - scale in 3 sheets. These maps are: ! I-1535 (2 sheets only) - relief, albedo, names ! I-1535 ! I-1618 (3 sheets) - relief, names ! I-2030 (3 sheets) - relief, topographic contours ! I-1802-A,B,C (3 sheets) - geology ! There are many other maps as well: 30 sheets at 1:5,000,000 scale in ! relief, albedo, geology, photomosaic forms (not all 30 sheets available ! in all formats); 140 sheets at 1:2,000,000 scale as photomosaics of the ! whole planet, about 100 sheets of interesting sites at 1:500,000 scale ! in photomosaic format, and lots of special sheets. ! ! Then there are maps of Mercury, Venus, the Moon, the four Galilean ! Satellites, six moons of Saturn and five of Uranus. [Phil Stooke ! (stooke@vaxr.sscl.uwo.ca), the author of this item, has offered to ! respond to email requests for information on any topic relating to lunar ! and planetary maps.] ! COMETARY ORBIT DATA --- 432,553 ---- PLANETARY MAPS ! The following list gives brief references to maps of all bodies other ! than Earth for which maps have been drawn - 43 by July 1993. The list ! will be updated periodically. Where many maps exist for a world (e.g. ! Mars) the best (or a typical) general purpose global map is listed, ! subdivided into relief maps (usually with feature names), topography ! (contours) and geol- ogical maps. Otherwise (e.g. Deimos) the best ! available map is listed. Some (e.g. Comet Encke) are merely simple ! diagrams of possible surface features ('sketch' under map type). Users ! noting errors or omissions are urged to contact Phil Stooke at the ! address below. ! References: USGS refers to the U.S. Geological Survey. Order maps by I- ! number from USGS Map Sales, Box 25286, Denver, Colorado USA 80225. Most ! sheets cost about $3 each (some listed maps are sets of several sheets), ! but check cost with USGS before ordering. NASA Tech. Memo. 4395, ! 'Indexes of Maps of the Planets and Satellites 1992' by J.L. Inge and ! R.M. Batson, is an excellent guide to sheet maps (i.e. not journal ! illustrations). Apollo-era Moon maps (LAC, LTO) are mostly out of print, ! but may still be available from NSSDC (plus NASA CD-ROMs): National ! Space Science Data Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, ! Maryland USA 20771. Other references are to books and journals. Although ! not full bibliographic entries (to save space), there should be enough ! information to enable the item to be found. !
