Summary
The quadrangle is in the northern Maja Valles region on the west edge of the Chryse Planitia. This map is one in a sequence of three that also includes MTM 15057 and 20057. The sequence covers that part of the lower reaches of the Maja Valles that includes the transition from the higher Lunae Planum surface to the lower Chryse Planitia surface. The major interest in this quadrangle is the effects of catastrophic outflow and its associated morphologic modification of Chryse Planitia.

Digitized 1:500,000-scale geologic map of the Darvel Quadrangle (MTM 20052), Maja Valles Region, Mars. Originally mapped on Viking imagery, the scanned map sheet was imported into ArcMap and georeferenced to the more current 2014 global THEMIS Daytime IR mosaic basemap. Contacts and geologic units were digitized and attributed based on type and unit name.
