Atlas of Mars
and Viking Orbiter image-finder
This was the first (but is not not the latest and greatest, for most purposes) online atlas of Mars. It lets you choose a site by various means and will show the locations (as footprints) of thousands of high-resolution Viking Orbiter images.
The maps, though, are low resolution (16 pixels/degree). If you want high resolution or color maps or full clickability, look elsewhere.
