Photogeologic units were identified based on albedo, crater density, surface features, and cross-cutting relations. All craters larger than 60 km in diameter were mapped and classified according to their stage of degradation. Because the poor resolution makes crater counting difficult and correlation of counts between areas uncertain, qualitative estimates of crater frequency rather than quantitative counts were used to gain insight into relative unit ages. The surfaces seen thus far on Callisto seem to be remarkably simple for such a large satellite. All attributes created during the creation process were verified by displaying the lines in both the database and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Line geometry is topologically clean.
