Abstract: In situ geologic context mapping based on rover and helicopter observations provides documentation of a nearly continuous record of geology and exposed surface structure over a 120 m‐wide corridor along the traverse of the Mars 2020/Perseverance rover. The results record the geologic context of Mars 2020 campaign sites and sample sites, including the local extent of bedrock outcrops, stratigraphy, attitude, and structure from imaging and rover‐based remote sensing, and outcrop lithology based on in situ proximity science. Mapping identifies a sequence of igneous lithologies including (a) early mafic, possibly intrusive, rocks; (b) pervasively fractured and deeply altered massive bedrock of undetermined protolith; (c) buried and exhumed lava flows with pahoehoe and aa textures; (d) several varieties of regolith; and (e) small impact craters. Plain Language Summary: Reconnaissance‐type geologic mapping along the traverse of Perseverance on the Jezero Crater floor is adapted from field geologic methods used on Earth and modified to account for the geometry of rover‐based imaging. The final field geologic map records bedrock and surficial geology, contacts, and structures over a 120‐m wide strip along the traverse. Most of the lithologies are igneous, including possible intrusive mafic rocks, deeply weathered massive rocks of unknown original lithology, and lava flows. Stratigraphy determined from mapping together with the observed inclination of layers identifies either uplift or draping of the section centered in the elevated older terrain. The final map information provides ground‐truth geologic context for the first eight samples collected for return to Earth. Key Points: In situ mapping from the rover observations on Mars uses field geologic mapping methodsDocuments the geologic context of samples and the crater floor traverse of PerseveranceDevelops methods applicable to future robotic and human traverses on planetary surfaces [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
