The smooth-textured area displaying a radial drainage pattern at the right-center is Jumay volcano in SE Guatemala.  The volcano was constructed near the contact between Tertiary volcanic rocks on the south and Paleozoic metamorphic rocks on the north.  The 2176-m-high volcano lies immediately north of the large city of Jalapa (the light-colored area at the bottom right). NASA Landsat image, 2000 (courtesy of Loren Siebert, University of Akron).
