The surface of the planet Mercury has been divided into fifteen quadrangles, designated H-1 to H-15 (the 'H' stands for Hermes, the Greek equivalent of Mercury). [1] The quadrangles are named for prominent surface features visible within each area. [1]
Hokusai quadrangle as mapped by the MESSENGER spacecraft 1934 map showing the Apollonia albedo feature. The Hokusai quadrangle (H-5) is one of fifteen quadrangles on the planet Mercury. It runs from 360 to 270° longitude and 20 to 70° latitude.
Raditladi quadrangle as mapped by the MESSENGER spacecraft 1934 map showing the Liguria albedo feature. The Raditladi quadrangle (H-4) is one of fifteen quadrangles on Mercury. It runs from 270 to 180° longitude and 20 to 70° latitude.
This template displays the quadrangles of Mercury in relation to each other. Note that the quadrangles actually overlap with each other by 5 degrees along their north-to-south edges, this table is only intended as an approximate navigational guide.

The Michelangelo quadrangle is in the southern hemisphere of the planet Mercury, where the imaged part is heavily cratered terrain that has been strongly influenced by the presence of multiring basins. At least four such basins, now nearly obliterated, have largely controlled the distribution of plains materials and structural trends in the map ...
