Photogeologic mapping of Mariner photographs characterizes major stratigraphic units of the Martian equatorial region. The low resolution photomosaic ship across Meridiani Sinus Deucalionus Regio is divided into regional map units based on albedo and crater density. High resolution frames reveal map units defined by varying surface texture, crater densities, and degree of crater sharpness. Mariner photographs provide clear evidence of eolian action and channelization by fluid flow.
