The discussion centers on locating and enlarging a USGS Moon map with a legend. A user shares a link to the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon, noting that the high-resolution version (712 MB) is legible at high magnification. They mention encountering issues with another site before finding the correct map. The shared link is confirmed as the desired resource by another participant. This exchange highlights the importance of reliable sources for geological maps of the Moon.

TL;DR
Need a legend.
I went to the usgs site and found the pdf, but for some reason I could not enlarge the file to read it. Any body got a link to the map with a legend? TIA.

I downloaded the big version (712 MB).

It's all legible at high mag.
There is a bunch of text at the download site, and more text here, which lead me to the download site.

I went to another site first, but it didn't work.
