Summary

This map is one of a series showing the geology of areas of special scientific interest - areas considered as candidate sites for Apollo landings. Many of these sites were dropped from the list of candidates owing to operational constraints and curtailment of the Apollo program, together with priority judgments of relative scientific merit. The preliminary work on these areas has been refined, and the maps are being published with a view toward their use in possible future lunar exploration programs, either manned or unmanned. The mapping was done mostly with Lunar Orbiter data, using the methods described by Wilhelms (1970) and Trask (1969).

Purpose

Digitized 1:250,000-scale geologic map of the ORVSITE12 - Censorinus Quadrangle of the Moon. Originally mapped on Lunar Base Chart USAF-ACIC imagery. The scanned map sheet was imported into ArcMap and georeferenced to the more current 2013 global WAC mosaic basemap. Contacts and geologic units were digitized and attributed based on type and unit name.
