This is the final ellipse plotted on a USGS map. The large cross shows the post-mission estimate of the landing location. The actual site was found later (by Tim Parker of JPL) in better Viking images late in the mission, then seen clearly in HiRISE images. I was looking too, following advice from Merton Davies of RAND, but he and I were both wrong. Now it's time to get down on the ground.
