The geological analysis of 127 photomaps at 1:2,000,000 scale revealed the structure inhomogeneities in the upper layers of the Martian cryolithosphere which are connected with different ice content in rocks, both in lateral directions and depth. On the basis of morphological and morphometric analysis of crater population of fresh impact craters (using crater method) the roof depths of ice-bearing rocks were estimated. Data on relative ice content in Martian rocks in different latitude belts and depths were received. Maps of mean and minimal roof depths of ice-bearing rocks in the ±65° lat. belt were compiled. The dependence of thickness of desiccated rocks as function of latitude and level of terrain was revealed. It was found that the ice distribution in the upper layers of the cryolithosphere had a clearly seen latitudinal tendencey. The southern and northern hemispheres were characterized by an asymmetric picture of the ice distribution.
