  • Journal of maps

    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 Bach quadrangle (H15), Mercury

    Open AccessAnnie R Lennox, David A Rothery et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2025

    Mercury’s Bach quadrangle (H15) is the areapoleward of 65 °S. We mapped this geologically using remote sensing-basedobservations of surface morphology revealed on MESSENGER data products. Thismap contributes to a series of quadrangle maps providing geological context forthe ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury. We performed digitisation at ∼1:400,000scale and final publication scale is 1:3,000,000. There are four morphologicallydistinct plains…

  • 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 the Neruda quadrangle (H13), Mercury

    Open AccessBenjamin Man, David A Rothery et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2023

    We present the first geological map of the Neruda Quadrangle (H13), Mercury. H13 is in Mercury’s southern hemisphere between latitudes 22.5°S–65°S, and longitudes 90°E–180° covering a total area of just under 5 million km2, equivalent to 6.5% of the planet’s surface. Map digitisation was carried out at scales between 1:300,000 and 1:700,000 for final presentation at 1:3,000,0000, from end-of-mission data products from NASA’s MESSENGER mission. We…
