Thematic mapping of the moon
Abstract
The problems of the thematic mapping of the moon are examined on the basis of several geological and geomorphological lunar maps prepared by the authors as well as on the basis of a comparison of these maps with other published maps. Consideration is given to: the preparation of a series of thematic maps on the basis of a prototype; the writing of legends; and the mutual matching of different maps. Problems associated with map scales are discussed.
