    Open AccessAlistair Blance, David A Rothery et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2026

    Mercury’s Discovery quadrangle (H11) is in the planet’s southern hemisphere (0–90°W, 22.5– 65°S), one of fifteen mapping quadrangles covering Mercury. Here we present a 1:3,000,000 (1:3M) scale geological map of H11, constructed using data collected by NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft mission. On top of a ∼166 m/pixel monochrome basemap, we digitized geological units and their contacts, and additional linear and surface features. We produced two versi…

  • Geology of the Michelangelo quadrangle (H12), Mercury

    Open AccessSalvatore Buoninfante, Valentina Galluzzi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2025

    The Michelangelo quadrangle of Mercury (H12) encompasses the area between latitudes 22.5°S–65°S and longitudes 180°E–270°E. The quadrangle covers almost 6.5% of the planet’s surface with a total area of almost 5 million km2. Geologic contacts and linear features were drawn at a mapping scale between 1:300,000 and 1:600,000, based on photointerpretation of MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) Mercury Dual Imagi…

  • Geology of Tolstoj quadrangle (H08), Mercury

    Open AccessLorenza Giacomini, Laura Guzzetta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    Tolstoj quadrangle (H08) is located in the equatorial area of Mercury, between 22.5°N and 22.5°S and 144° and 216°E. Using the NASA/MESSENGER data, we compiled a geological map of the quadrangle at a scale of 1:3.000.000. The main basemap we used was the MDIS 166 m/pixel BDR mosaic. In addition, mosaics with high-incidence illumination from west and east, MDIS global color mosaics, and the MDIS global DEM have been taken into account. In the map,…

  • Geology of the Kuiper quadrangle (H06), Mercury

    Open AccessLorenza Giacomini, Valentina Galluzzi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2022

    The Kuiper quadrangle (H06) is located at the equatorial zone of Mercury and encompasses the area between 288°E – 360°E and 22.5°N – 22.5°S. Using the NASA MESSENGER data, we compiled a geological map of the quadrangle at a 1:3,000,000 scale. The mapping was mainly based on photo-interpretation of an MDIS (Mercury Dual Imaging System) monochrome 166 m/pixel basemap. Additional datasets were also considered: stereo-DTM of the region, mosaics with …

  • Geology of the Shakespeare quadrangle (H03), Mercury

    Open AccessLaura Guzzetta, Valentina Galluzzi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2017

    By using images acquired by the Mercury dual imaging system (MDIS) on-board the MESSENGER spacecraft during 2008–2015 and available DTMs, a new 1:3,000,000-scale geological map of the Shakespeare quadrangle of Mercury has been compiled. The quadrangle is located between latitudes 22.5°–65.0°N and longitudes 270.0°–180.0°E and covers an area of about 5 million km2. The mapping was based on photo-interpretation performed on a reference monochromati…

  • Geology of the Victoria quadrangle (H02), Mercury

    Open AccessValentina Galluzzi, Laura Guzzetta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    Mercury’s quadrangle H02 ‘Victoria’ is located in the planet’s northern hemisphere and lies between latitudes 22.5° N and 65° N, and between longitudes 270° E and 360° E. This quadrangle covers 6.5% of the planet’s surface with a total area of almost 5 million km2. Our 1:3,000,000-scale geologic map of the quadrangle was produced by photo-interpretation of remotely sensed orbital images captured by the MESSENGER spacecraft. Geologic contacts were…
