(LAC-59) Geologic map of the Mare Vaporum quadrangle of the moon
The Mare Vaporum quadrangle is centrally l ocated on the near side of the Moon, southeast of the craterlike basin of Mare Imbrium . Stratigraphic units and structures peripheral to the basin and rela ted to it domina te the terra of the quadrangle, and one of the maria, S inus Medii , is in a trou g h that is concentric with the basin. The other principal maria, Mare Vaporum a n d Sinu s Aestuum , occupy craterlike basins that apparently antedate the Imbrium basin and developed independently of it. Some stratigraphic units and structures, mostly relatively young , are present that are not related to mare basin.
