Abstract
The Amazonis quadrangle lies within the northern sparsely cratered hemisphere of Mars (Carr and others, 1973) The dominant structural ad physiographic features of the quadrangle are low feature-less plains (Amazonis Planitia) in the center third of the quadrangle, the western flanks of the large volcanic construct, Olympus Mons, and its associated aureole deposits (Lycus Sulci), which lies on the eastern slopes of the plains, and in a area of rough knobby terrain along the west edge of the quadrangle. The central plains descend northward into the circumpolar lowlands (Arcadia Planitia, Vastitas Borealis) and rise southward where they are bounded by the cratered terrains of the equatorial region of Mars.
