Summary
Mariner 10 data include complete photographic coverage of the quadrangle at a resolution of about 2 km. In addition, twelve stereopairs cover scattered areas in the quadrangle (Davies and others, 1978, p. 114-115); these photographs were used to supplement the geologic interpretation. About 10° of longitude of the H-13 quadrangle (Solitudo Persephones Province) adjacent to the west is included in the map area because not enough Mariner 10 data were acquired of this quadrangle to justify the production of another map.

Digitized 1:5,000,000-scale geologic map of the the Michelangelo quadrangle of Mercury. Originally mapped on Mariner 10 imagery the map was digitized as a GIS product in 1999. The polygon shapefile has been smoothed and transformed to align with the more current 2013 Messenger basemap. Then a polyline feature was created and attributed with contact type.
