Locating "modern" (i.e., geologically young) sites of ground water activity is difficult because processes associated with water on the surface occurred primarily in the Noachian-Hesperian Periods. Nevertheless, some regions display morphological signatures of more recent water-related processes. The problem is to locate such sites that also meet the engineering constraints of landed missions. A potential area lies in Northern Memnonia. The region selected for detailed study is at the northern edge of Memnonia in the transition zone between the ancient highland plateau and young lowland plains, The plateau includes ancient cratered materials (unit Npl1) and hilly materials (unit Nplh).
