      The goal of this paper is to characterize one of the mappings found by \textit{J. Hietarinta} and \textit{C. Viallet} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 325-328 (1998)] from the point of view of the theory of rational surfaces. As its space of initial values, the author obtains a rational surface associated with some root of indefinite type. Conversely the author recovers the mapping from the surface and consequently obtains an extension of mapping to its non-autonomous version. By considering the intersection numbers of divisors, the author presents a method to calculate the algebraic entropy of the mapping. Finally it is shown that the degree of the mapping is given by the \(n\)th power of a matrix that is given by the action of the mapping on the Picard group.
