Abstract
This map shows the geology in and around potential early Apollo landing site 5 in the lunar equatorial belt. The Maestlin G region is in Oceanus Procellarum, about midway between the crater Kepler to the northeast and Flamsteed to the southwest. Terra materials occur only in the northeast corner of the region. Dark mare covers the remainder, and the entire region is crossed by rays from Kepler. The general geology of the larger Kepler region was mapped at a scale of 1:1,000,000 from telescopic photography (Hackman, 1962), and a 1:25,000 geologic map has been prepared of the landing site in the central part of the region (Titley and Trask, 1969).
