skunkbear:A genius named Eleanor Lutz made a beautiful map of one interesting slice of Mars (based on this USGS map). She says:Recently I’ve been really into old maps made by medieval explorers. I thought it would be fun to use their historical design style to illustrate our current adventures into unexplored territory. So here’s my hand-drawn topographic map of Mars, complete with official landmark names and rover landing sites.Not only is it beautiful to look out - it’s fun to explore. I never new that Mars’ small craters are officially named after small earth towns - here, Lutz labels them and (in caps) indicates their home country on earth. The large craters bear the names of famous scientists.I highly recommend heading over to http://tabletopwhale.com/ to check out the higher resolution version. -- source link
