Interagency report: astrogeology 55, geologic mapping of the second planet. Part 1: Rationale and general methods of lunar geologic mapping. Part 2: Technicalities of map conventions, format, production mechanics, and reviewing. Part 3: History of the US Geological Survey lunar geologic mapping program

摘要

It is shown that lunar geological mapping is similar in philosophy and principle, as well as in many details of method, to terrestrial geological mapping. Photointerpretation provides information on the structure of the whole moon and the geometric relations, areal distribution, and sequence of formation of its crystal elements.
