Go here
http://www.openuniverse.org/
and scroll about half way down the page. One moon two Mars resolutions,
huge and huger. That latter 13M looks like you could go into low Mars
orbit without pixelation. Maybe enough to switch seamlessly into a
heightfield.

I'm getting ready to try out the open universe program and noticed in the list of
bugs:
KNOWS BUGS/ISSUES:
-Ring shadow slightly out of place in Uranus
That doesn't sound good.

I have used those exact images to make my mars images a while back, but I
decided not to repost em just to jump back on the bandwagon :)

As Jon Berndt mentioned a few days ago, the originals of these can be found,
along with many more, at http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov. Moreover, the
OpenUniverse versions are JPEG'ed whereas the JPL versions are the
unadulterated TIFFs - although maybe not in the super-duper hi-res versions.

_F_orget the bugs and go to textures after you have untared.

I do not argue with that but 'can be found on' and 'can find' are two
different issues. Specificity is the greatest desirable attribute of a
URL.
That aside, back in my 486DX66, 16.6 days I found an montage image of
the earh from space with clouds eliminated in mercator projection
perfect for map_type 1 onto a sphere. Unfortunately is would have been a
significant fraction (half) of my 1.5G disk.
Can you find that image?
