Summary
The Diacria quadrangle includes parts of Arcadia and Amazonis Planitiae on the planet’s northern plains (around –4000 m elevation), the northwestern flank of Alba Mons (reaching >3000 m elevation), and part of Vastitas Borealis to the north. Other prominent features include the northern part of the rugged Lycus Sulci terrain, the Acheron Fossae that cut a broad, arcuate ridge, and knobby and cratered plateaus of Erebus Montes.
