Mapping Scheme and Layout

At a mapping scale of 1:2,500,000 the Moon is divided into 30 map quadrangles. Proposers should identify clearly which quadrangle(s) they are interesed in mapping. Of the 30 quadrangles to be mapped, only lq 11 (Copernicus quadrangle) has been mapped using the new digital map bases.
