Coordinates 47°30′N 210°00′W / 47.5°N 210°W / 47.5; -210 Eponym Land of Cebrenia near Troy Image of the Cebrenia Quadrangle (MC-7). The northwest contains relatively smooth plains; the southeast contains [Hecates Tholus](/source/Hecates_Tholus) (one of three Elysium shield volcanoes) and [Phlegra Montes](/source/Phlegra_Montes) (a ridge system). The **Cebrenia quadrangle** is one of a series of [30 quadrangle maps of Mars](/source/List_of_quadrangles_on_Mars) used by the [United States Geological Survey](/source/United_States_Geological_Survey) (USGS) [Astrogeology Research Program](/source/Astrogeology_Research_Program). The [quadrangle](/source/Quadrangle_(geography)) is located in the northeastern portion of Mars' eastern hemisphere and covers 120° to 180° east longitude (180° to 240° west longitude) and 30° to 65° north latitude. The quadrangle uses a [Lambert conformal conic projection](/source/Lambert_conformal_conic_projection) at a nominal scale of 1:5,000,000 (1:5M). The Cebrenia quadrangle is also referred to as MC-7 (Mars Chart-7).[1] It includes part of [Utopia Planitia](/source/Utopia_Planitia) and [Arcadia Planitia](/source/Arcadia_Planitia). The southern and northern borders of the Cebrenia quadrangle are approximately 3,065 km (1,905 mi) and 1,500 km (930 mi) wide, respectively. The north to south distance is about 2,050 km (1,270 mi) (slightly less than the length of Greenland).[2] The quadrangle covers an approximate area of 4,900,000 square kilometres (1,900,000 sq mi), about 3% of Mars' surface area.[3] ## Etymology The feature is named after [Cebrenia](/source/Cebrenia), a country near ancient Troy. The name was approved by the [International Astronomical Union](/source/International_Astronomical_Union) (IAU) in 1958.[4] ## Physiography and geology The quadrangle's prominent features are the large craters Mie and Stokes, a [volcano](/source/Volcano), [Hecates Tholus](/source/Hecates_Tholus), and a group of mountains, [Phlegra Montes](/source/Phlegra_Montes). [Viking 2](/source/Viking_2) (part of [Viking program](/source/Viking_program)) landed near Mie on September 3, 1976. Its landing coordinates were 48° N and 226° W.[5] ## See also - [Climate of Mars](/source/Climate_of_Mars) - [Geology of Mars](/source/Geology_of_Mars) - [Glacier](/source/Glacier) - [Glaciers on Mars](/source/Glaciers_on_Mars) - [HiRISE](/source/HiRISE) - [HiWish program](/source/HiWish_program) - [Impact crater](/source/Impact_crater) - [Latitude dependent mantle](/source/Latitude_dependent_mantle) - [Lineated valley fill](/source/Lineated_valley_fill) - [List of quadrangles on Mars](/source/List_of_quadrangles_on_Mars) - [List of mountains on Mars](/source/List_of_mountains_on_Mars) - [List of rocks on Mars](/source/List_of_rocks_on_Mars) - [Martian chaos terrain](/source/Martian_chaos_terrain) - [Pedestal crater](/source/Pedestal_crater) - [Vallis](/source/Vallis_(planetary_geology)) - [Volcanology of Mars](/source/Volcanology_of_Mars) - [Water on Mars](/source/Water_on_Mars) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Davies, M.E.; Batson, R.M.; Wu, S.S.C. “Geodesy and Cartography” in Kieffer, H.H.; Jakosky, B.M.; Snyder, C.W.; Matthews, M.S., Eds. *Mars.* University of Arizona Press: Tucson, 1992. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** Distances calculated using NASA World Wind measuring tool.
