Coloring of the base map indicates relative elevations, based on data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor. Whites and browns indicate the highest elevations ( +12 to +8 km ); followed by pinks and reds ( +8 to +3 km ); yellow is 0 km ; greens and blues are lower elevations (down to −8 km ).
The maps below were produced by the Mars Global Surveyor ' s Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter; redder colors indicate higher elevations.The maps of the equatorial quadrangles use a Mercator projection, while those of the mid-latitude quadrangles use a Lambert conformal conic projection, and the maps of the polar quadrangles use a polar stereographic projection.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{ Mars rovers | state = collapsed }} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{ Mars rovers | state = expanded }} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Clickable image of the 30 cartographic quadrangles of Mars, defined by the USGS. [1] [2] Quadrangle numbers (beginning with MC for "Mars Chart") [3] and names link to the corresponding articles. North is at the top; is at the far left on the equator. The map images were taken by the Mars Global Surveyor
