Data Base of Impact Craters on Venus Based On Analysis of Magellan Radar Images and Altimetry Data - The Magellan spacecraft provided synthetic aperture radar image coverage of 98% of the surface of the planet Venus. This online database contains a listing of impact craters based on interpretation of the Magellan data including the name, coordinates, diameter, modification state, crater morphologic type, and mean elevation of 967 craters interpreted to be of impact origin. USGS Planetary Geologic Mapping Program.

Maps of Venus and Nomenclature - This page provides access to Adobe Acrobat versions of the 1 - 5 million-scale Quads series of maps of Venus overlaid with nomenclature of significant features. USGS Planetary Geologic Mapping Program.

NSSDC Photo Gallery of Venus - This page contains a collection of images taken by spacecraft and the Hubble Space Telescope of Venus.

Planetary Photojournal Images of Venus - This page at NASA's Planetary Photojournal provides access to a database of images of Venus from solar system exploration programs and other sources. Images are available in sizes ranging from small web images to large, publication quality files.

The Venus Geologic Mappers Handbook - This handbook has been produced to guide geologic mappers in the Venus Geologic Mapping (VMAP) program to meet the following challenges - to gain an understanding of Magellan data and their bearing on the interpretation of geologic terrain, to facilitate the application of conventional and special planetary mapping techniques to Venus, and to promote continued usage of USGS guidelines for map publication.
