Pair of color Apollo 14 pre-mission geological maps of the Fra Mauro region of the moon by R. E. Eggleton and T. W. Offield, published by the US Geological Survey in 1970. The first map, 27.5 x 46, scale 1:25,000, shows the geology of the Fra Mauro site, and is signed in blue felt tip with an inscription from Mitchell’s memoir The Way of the Explorer, “The stillness seemed to convey that the landscape itself had been patiently awaiting our arrival for millions of years, Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 LMP.” The second map, 41 x 23, scale 1: 250,000, displays the regional geologic setting of the Apollo 14 landing area in the western part of the lunar equatorial belt. Both maps include their respective information packets and their original Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey (Map I-708) storage folder. In fine, folded condition.
