Here's something I wrote recently for a newsletter devoted to
Internet science resources:
"The Atlas of Mars is located at
http://fi-www.arc.nasa.gov/fia/project. This Home Page is a
WWW-browsable, zoomable, and scrollable atlas of Mars, showing the
locations (footprints) of thousands of high-resolution Viking Orbiter
images. Some special focus areas are the Gusev crater and the Mars
Pathfinder's planned landing site.
This atlas has complete coverage of Mars as grayscale maps at 1/16
degree/pixel, and may let you download 1/256 degree/pixel maps and
some raw Viking Orbiter images. You might want to keep in mind that
raw Viking Orbiter images are unprocessed, so if your goal is to see
processed images, as well as non-Viking Mars images, then this site
has links to other Mars image sites more relevant to your interests
such as JPL, National Space Sciences Data Center, and Los Alamos."
Hope this helps.
