R.A. DeHon, D.H. Scott, and J.R. Underwood Jr, 19810101, Geologic map of the Kuiper Quadrangle of Mercury: , https://doi.org/10.5066/P9RPC50E.
Summary
Basic information about the planetary surface of the Kuiper quadrangle is provided by three sequences of high-quality photographs designated Mercury I, II, and II, obtained during the incoming phases of three encounters of the Mariner 10 spacecraft with Mercury. Mercury I includes 75 whole-frame photographs of the Kuiper quadrangle; Mercury II, 13 whole-frame photographs; and Mercury III, 70 quarter-frame photographs. The photographs include 19 stereopairs in the southern part of the quadrangle. The most distant of the photographs was taken at an altitude of 89,879 km, the closest at an altitude of 7,546 km. Resolution, therefore, varies widely but ranges from about 1.5 to 2.0 km over most of the area.

Digitized 1:5,000,000-scale geologic map of the the Kuiper 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.
