Where to get the 23k mars map now?

Hi, everyone! A long time ago I downloaded a fantastic mars texture with a phenomenal resolution of 23040x11520 pixels from this site:

http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/

The texture was split into three seperate jpgs, one for each color channel on the image. A hard drive crash destroyed my active copies of the texture, and somehow they never ended up on any backup cds. The site doesn't seem to have them anymore. So I guess my question is, where might I be able to find them?

TIA

Thanks, Jestr! I am taking a look now. I just downloaded a small tiff file from there, and it looks like a low resolution version of what I am looking for. Heh, now I am downloading the full 200 meg file. We will see, I guess. Thanks again, it can be very difficult to navigate the various government and NASA and USGS sites to find something! I probably never would have stumbled onto that server!
