PDF Maps of Titan

Titan with ISS background Not all features are shown on this map, however a few features, including some faculae, planitiae and regiones, can be seen better here than on the VIMS maps. Map covers area between 90°N and 90°S.
Titan with VIMS background and RADAR strips All named features between 50°N and 90°S are included. Map covers area between 90°N and 90°S.
Titan VIMS image Only prominent albedo features and a few other features that are easily distinguished are included. Map covers area between 90°N and 90°S.
Titan North Pole Includes features that are between 50°N and 90°N. The image is false color Cassini RADAR that distinguishes liquid hydrocarbon from dry land.
Titan South Pole Includes features that are between 50°S and 90°S. The image is false color Cassini RADAR that distinguishes liquid hydrocarbon from dry land.
