Utopia is a lava plain located north-west of Elysium and belongs to the northern lowlands - it's also the largest recognized impact crater in the entire Solar System! Mineral-rich lava can be made into fertile soil, motivating the plentiful plant bonuses away from the equator. To the south it borders on the Great Escarpment along the edge of the southern highlands The thin crust closer to the North Pole could e a suitable spot for geothermal energy plants.

TERRA CIMMERIA
Terra Cimmeria is a densely cratered highland region on Mars' southern hemisphere, half way to the south pole, east of the Hellas basin. This is the best place on the planet for finding steel and titanium! The whole region shows signs of shorelines and water erosion from liquid water formerly flowing abundantly through the southern highlands. However, the lowlands suitable for oceans in the present day are located along the edge of this region. Placing a tile where the Curiosity rover explored the are around the Gale crater places a colony for 5 M€ (ignore if not playing with Colonies).
