Map of the H-9 quadrangle of Mercury In January 2010 the United States Geological Survey published a new Mercury atlas based upon Mariner 10 images plus the near-global map of Mercury acquired during MESSENGER's three flybys. The atlas consists of fifteen individual map sheets and includes all features named to date. This is just one of the fifteen sheets, covering the area from 22 degrees north to 22 degrees south of the equator and from 216 to 288 degrees west longitude.
