# Map of Mars

This is an interactive map of Mars: https://anvaka.github.io/mars/

[![map of mars](images/map_of_mars.png)](https://anvaka.github.io/mars/)

# Details

The map was made from a [publicly available digital elevation model](https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/Mars/Topography/HRSC_MOLA_Blend/Mars_HRSC_MOLA_BlendDEM_Global_200mp_v2). 

Maximum resolution of the model is 200 meters per pixel.

I converted the model into 8 bit, and uploaded it into MapBox studio. The uncorrected labels come from the 

[Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature](https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Page/MARS/target).

To add colors to the map, I had to patch [mapbox-gl-js](https://github.com/anvaka/mapbox-gl-js/tree/color-ramp)

library. The patch is not supposed to have high reusability quality, but might serve as an inspiration for a [long time

feature request](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/3889) solution on main `mapbox-gl` repository.
