Because of the success of the Viking lander mission, central Chryse Planitia represents one of two areas on the Martian surface where planetary geologic mapping is added by ground-truth observations. The broadscale geology of Chryse Planitia and the geology of the Viking 1 landing site have been previously examined by other investigators. A 1:500,000 scale mapping of central Chryse Planitia and the Viking landing site was undertaken to synthesize these results and to address the following: (1) the depositional and erosional history of the Chryse Planitia basin; (2) the degree to which the Viking 1 surface materials are representative of the Chryse Planitia regions and of plains in general; (3) the extent of channel materials versus ridged plains materials; and (4) the primary objectives of future missions to the surface of Mars. The preliminary results of the investigation are presented.
