Others can probably comment further on this, but at the very least, I know
that a user can utilize basemap for plotting other pieces of geographical
data by supplying their own shapefiles. I do this all the time for my own
plots where I want to include local counties and municipal roads. If there
are shapefiles for Martian geographical features, it is possible to use
basemap for that.
