Massive and Beautiful Map of the Moon, 1961. (Moon Map) HACKMAN, Robert; MASON, Arnold. (Astrogeology Science Center.) Engineer special study of the surface of the moon - Lunar Rays. Washington, D.C. Army Map Service, Corps of Engineers, 1961. Fine, crisp copy. Probably an 8/10 rating.

[++] "Second edition", 1961 (following the first printing July 1960.) Very large folding (wall) map, 1440 x 975 mm, 40"x50", scale approx 1:3,800,000. So far as I can determine from the resistance to unfolding, this map has been very little used and unfolded. That said, there are a few areas where there is a possibility of a short tear at some of the folds. The map is very crisp and bright really, quite lovely. This is one of four maps in this series published by the U.S. Geological Survey all four are available online as downloadable pdfs from the USGS publications website. [++] "Arnold Mason and Robert Hackman correctly identified light-hued rays as ejecta blasted out from young asteroid impact craters."--USGS site (searched under this title).…
