The text in the overview map probably should read “Starship landing zone.” I think you have a minor typo.

Perhaps the circularity of the “rash” means something (allergies?). It follows the topography of the terrain, covering rises and hills as well as dips, and many or most of the crater features are also filled with the rash, which suggests to me that the rash may be a relatively new feature, geologically speaking. There are quite a few craters in the surrounding area, suggesting that the general terrain is not young.

These cool images of Mars, a couple of hundred per year, show us that once mankind gets there, we will have so very much exploration to do.
