HectoMAP is a dense redshift survey of 95,403 galaxies based primarily on MMT spectroscopy with a median redshift z = 0.345. The survey covers 54.64 deg2 in a 1$$_{.}^{°}$$5 wide strip across the northern sky centered at a decl. of 43$$_{.}^{°}$$25. We report the redshift, the spectral indicator Dn4000, and the stellar mass. The red-selected survey is 81% complete for 55,962 galaxies with (g - r) > 1 and r < 20.5; it is 72% complete for 32,908 galaxies with (g - r > 1, (r - i) > 0.5 and 20.5 < r < 21.3. Comparison of the survey basis SDSS photometry with the HSC-SSP photometry demonstrates that HectoMAP provides complete magnitude-limited surveys based on either photometric system. We update the comparison between the HSC-SSP photometric redshifts with HectoMAP spectroscopic redshifts; the comparison demonstrates that the HSC-SSP photometric redshifts have improved between the second and third data releases. HectoMAP is a foundation for examining the quiescent galaxy population (63% of the survey), clusters of galaxies, and the cosmic web. HectoMAP is completely covered by the HSC-SSP survey, thus enabling a variety of strong- and weak-lensing investigations.
