Geologic map of the Arcadia Quadrangle of Mars

The Arcadia quadrangle of Mars contains three distinct geologic provinces: (1) the 1000-km-diameter shield volcano of Alba Patera, which occupies the southwestern quadrant; (2) the complex Tempe province, which comprises a number of younger volcanic and sedimentary blanket deposits over an ancient, highly cratered crust forming a plateau in the southeastern quadrant; and (3) a plains province, consisting of northern wind-swept, cratered plains and some younger subpolar deposits in the northeast corner of the quadrangle, plus less cratered plains surrounding much of the Tempe and Alba regions. The plateau, informally named the Tempe Plateau and part of the proposed formal term Tempe Terra, is separated from the main regions of cratered martian highlands to the south by Kasei Vallis, appearing at the extreme southeast corner of the map, which slopes northeastward onto Chryse Planitia.

火星阿卡迪亚图幅（Arcadia quadrangle）包含三个独立的地质省：
1. 直径1000千米的阿尔巴帕特拉（Alba Patera）盾状火山，占据该图幅的西南象限；
2. 复杂的坦佩省（Tempe province），由覆于古老且撞击坑密布的地壳之上的多套年轻火山与沉积盖层组成，构成该图幅东南象限的高原；
3. 平原省，包含图幅东北角受风力改造、撞击坑密布的北部平原与部分年轻亚极地沉积层，此外还包括环绕坦佩与阿尔巴区域大部分范围的低撞击坑密度平原。
该高原非正式命名为坦佩高原，隶属于拟议正式地质术语坦佩台地（Tempe Terra），其与南侧的火星主撞击坑密布高地被卡塞谷（Kasei Vallis）分隔；卡塞谷位于地图的极东南角落，整体向东北方向倾斜延伸至克里斯平原（Chryse Planitia）。
