### **Vintage 1984 USGS / NASA Shaded Relief & Surface Markings of Europa: Pelorus Linea Region (I-1493 / Je-3)**
Up for sale is an exceptionally clean, pristine original copy of **USGS Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-1493 (designated quadrangle Je-3)**, titled the *"Shaded Relief and Surface Markings of the Pelorus Linea Region of Europa."* Published in **1984** in close partnership with **NASA**, this item reflects a masterpiece era in early deep-space cartography.
This chart focuses directly on the **Je-3 Pelorus Linea province**—a region famed for its intricate, cross-cutting tectonic fractures, ridges, and bands slicing through Europa's outer icy shell. Instead of automated modern satellite lines, this map displays beautiful, hand-rendered airbrush cartography that accurately details light-and-shadow topography based on early imaging returned by the historic **Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft missions**.
