During its first orbit, the Galileo spacecraft obtained the first high-resolution images of grooved terrain in Uruk Sulcus on Ganymede. These data have allowed us to examine stratigraphic relations, providing a basis to evaluate processes in the formation and evolution of part of this geologically complex area. Our analysis has resulted in the production of a map of different terrain types. The units are similar to those defined in geologic or geomorphologic mapping, allowing three-dimensional relationships to be assessed, but differ from traditional planetary mapping in terms of the use of structural characteristics in their definition along with the likelihood that many units do not represent actual material units.
