Thanks for posting this, Paul; I had meant to go through this year’s abstracts more closely, so this saves me some time!
The image, aside from being spectacular and essential for visualizing this mission’s progress, is one of those key diagrams that needs to be on a regularly-maintained “reference page” somewhere.
I’m just as guilty, I also missed it when I went through the abstracts. It was posted by one of the amateur mappers over on UMSF Discord :) Back in the day when I used to post to FB I maintained a reference FB-Note, but FB decided they did not need notes anymore and it was lost. Not long back I quit FB when they started playing silly games. I’m currently in the middle of removing all my connections to Google, but if you’re still using Google I can point you to a maintained traverse map of MSL that’s is integrated into Google Earth. The guy who does it posts updates every few drives and he includes all the notional paths. He even has links to higher res map tiles that can be integrated into Google Earth Pro (the free version). Let me know if you’re interested
