| | | |  | This map shows the region of Kasei Valles, lying approximately between 21° and 28° North at 292.5° East. Connecting the Southern Echus Chasma and the plain Chryse Planitia to the east, Kasei Valles has a width of roughly 500 kilometres and, if Echus Chasma is included, extends for approximately 2500 kilometres. Both the North and South valley branches indicated in the map exhibit a depth of 2900 metres.

| | | |  | This colour image shows the Northern branch of Kasei Valles and the plain Sacra Mensa. The image has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise so North is to the right. An oval structure at the western edge (top) of the scene is interpreted to be a crater caused by an oblique meteorite impact.

| | | |  | The image shows a perspective view of the Southern branch of Kasei Valles looking to the East (the image has been rotated approximately 90 degrees counter-clockwise so that North is to the left). The Southern branch of Kasei Valles and Sacra Mensa, with its 1- to 2-kilometre-deep graben system, Sacra Fossae, can be clearly seen.

| | | |  | The image shows a perspective view of the Southern branch of Kasei Valles looking to the South-West (the image has been rotated clockwise so that North is to the far right). The terraces, which can be seen in the background, are up to 30 kilometres wide and are located at the base of the walls on both sides of the valley branch.
