The Catalog of Planetary Maps.
Sources: The research that led to this catalog was supported by Fulbright Hungary Grant No. 1222202, awarded to H. Hargitai for research at USGS Astrogeology, Flagstaff, Arizona (advisor: Trent Hare), and by the ICA Commission on Planetary Cartography (advisor: Kira Shingareva). Most of the data is based on the inventory of the map library of USGS Astrogeology.

HERE THERE BE ROBOTS: A NEW MAP OF
THE PLANET MARS
From Recent and Actual Surveys and Records
— Published by Eleanor Lutz in the year 2016 —
This map of Mars explains the etymology of Martian crater names. Craters smaller than 60 km in diameter are named after earth villages with a population of less than 100,000 people (found in black on the map, with the corresponding Earth location written in CAPITALIZED text). Large craters that are more than 60 km in diameter are named after deceased scientists and artists who contributed to Mars research or lore (found in red on the map, with each person’s first name written in CAPITALIZED text). Only official names approved by the International Astronomical Union and included in the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature are shown on this map. The map also includes contour lines based on the Color-Coded Contour Map of Mars, created by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2003. The topographic data and the satellite image overlay are based on images acquired by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), an instrument on NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. The MGS spacecraft was launched in 1996, and successfully mapped the surface of Mars over a period of four and a half years.
