Summary

The Tycho quadrangle is centrally located in the southern half of the earthside hemisphere of the Moon. The area is characterized by a high density of craters the largest of which - Stofler - is about 140km in diameter. The northern and eastern parts of the quadrangle are dominated by plains and hilly terra units of regional extent, and by the western part by the crater Tycho and its ejecta blanket. Structural features probably associated with the Imbrium basin to the North and the Orientale and Humorum basins to the northwest are present, although blanketing units related to these units are not recognized.

Purpose

Digitized 1:1,000,000-scale geologic map of the LAC-112 Tycho region 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.
