The northeastern section of Thaumasia is located in the heavily cratered southern highlands of Mars between 30 S and 47.5 S and 67.5 W and 90 W. To the northwest lies the Tharis bulge and to the southeast is the Argyre Basin. Previous mapping in Thaumasia included a geologic map of the entire guadrangel by McGill (1978) at a 1:5,000,000 scale and a map of lava flows in the northwest quadrant by Scott and Tanaka (1981). Most investigations concentrated west of 90 W long. in conjunction with the Tharis volcanics. This investigation was designed to examine the overall geology of this section of Thaumasia. After distinguishing various geomorphical units, a geologic map was made at a scale of 1:2,000,000. Lastly, a general sequence of events was developed for the area. Mapping was done from individual low, medium, and high resolution images from the Viking missions, as well as using a 1:2,000,000 scale photo mosaic of the northeast quadrant of Thaumasia. Amount of cratering and faulting, superposition, differences in morphology, and albedo were used to separate out geomorphologically distinct units.
