Maumee Valles
Coordinates:	19.7°N -53.2°W

The Maumee Valles are a set of channels in an ancient river valley in the Lunae Palus quadrangle of Mars, located at 19.7° N and 53.2° W. They are 350km (220miles) long and were named after a North American river in Indiana and Ohio.^[1]

Together with other ancient river valleys, they have provided strong evidence for a great deal of running water on the surface of Mars.^{[2] [3]}
