Introduction: Located at 51°S and 317°E, the Argyre Basin, is one of the most prominent impact basins on Mars [1-4]. Among various scenarios for its geologic evolution, it has been speculated that water might have accumulated within the Argyre Basin to a point where spillover occurred that carved the large northern outflow channel Uzboi Vallis [5-9]. Testing such a hypothesis is complicated by the fact that the timing of the proposed spillover is not well constrained. Most likely, if at all, it occurred very early in Martian history, which left ample time for subsequent modification of the terrain by erosional and depositional processes, as well as by two large impacts, Hale and Bond. On the basis of a detailed investigation of the Argyre Basin with Viking, MOLA and MOC data, evidence for such spillover remained elusive [10]. Here we use data from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) and other modern data to re-investigate and map in detail the Uzboi Vallis area in the vicinity of Hale-Bond in order to newly assess the evidence for the putative spillover.
