The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) acquired 282, 258, and 513 high-resolution images (<800 m/pixel) of Mimas, Tethys, and Iapetus, respectively, during two close flyby of Tethys and Iapetus and eight non-targeted flybys between 2004 and 2007. We combined these images with lower-resolution Cassini images and others taken by Voyager cameras to produce high-resolution semi-controlled mosaics of Mimas, Tethys, and Iapetus. These global mosaics are the baseline for high-resolution Mimas and Iapetus maps and a Tethys atlas. The nomenclature used in these maps was proposed by the Cassini imaging team and was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The two maps and the atlas are available to the public through the Imaging Team's website [http://ciclops.org/maps] and the Planetary Data System [http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov].
