The Gusev Crater/Ma'adim Valis region of Mars is a finalist for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover Mission. An analysis of the geological morphology of the landing ellipse was performed to characterize the area in terms of potential hazards to the rover and the scientific value of the site.The project utilized high-resolution images from the Mars Orbital Camera(MOC) employed by Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) to map the ellipse and construct a mosaic of the landing ellipse. The ellipse environment was characterized based on its visible texture. Features within the ellipse including craters larger than 200 meters, ejecta rocks and ejecta material associated with the craters, contact regions, and dust devil tracks were also identified. These different features expose the subsurface and were identified as potential targets for the rovers scientific package. The craters were categorized based on their size disribuition and the prominence of rocks and ejecta material associated with craters.
