Pair of color Apollo 16 pre-mission geological maps of the Descartes region of the moon by Daniel J. Milton and Carroll Ann Hodges, published by the US Geological Survey in 1972. The first map, 44 x 30.25, scale 1:50,000, shows the geology of the Descartes with proposed landing site, and is signed in black felt tip with a typically exuberant Duke quote spoken on the moon, “Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 LMP, What a place!” The second map, 37.75 x 21.5, scale 1: 250,000, displays the regional geologic setting of the Apollo 16 mission and classifies material as either pre-Imbrian, Imbrian System, Eratosthenian System, or Copernican System. Includes the original Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey (Map I-748) storage folder. In fine, folded condition.
