Mapping of Venus' Nepthys Mons Quadrangle (V54, 300-330oE, 25-50oS) has been conducted using standard mapping techniques, augmented with pseudostereo anaglyphs. The advent of this great data set has revised many of the mapping interpretations reported previously . Major research areas addressed are how the styles of volcanism and tectonism have changed with time, the evolution of shield volcanoes, the evolution of coronae, the characteristics of plains volcanism, and what these observations tell us about the general geologic history of Venus. Among our interesting findings are 1) a close relationship between shield plains and polygonal terrain, arguing for a volcanic origin for the latter, 2) the finding of many features intermediate between classic large shields and coronae at a variety of spatial scales, 3) evidence for tessera evolution within individual tessera blocks, arguing against a single episode of tessera formation in the region, although tessera appears older than all adjacent units.
