- 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.
USGS Moon Map w/ Legend: Help Finding & Enlarging
In summary, the conversation was about someone looking for a link to a map with a legend on the USGS website. They eventually found the map they were looking for and were able to enlarge it to read it clearly. They also mentioned going to another website before finding the correct one.

Is this the map you seek?
https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/Moon/Geology/Unified_Geologic_Map_of_the_Moon_GIS_v2
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.
