- Four "forgotten" Hasselblads of the Sculptured hills, photographed one orbit before landing; AS17-147-22464, 22465, 22466, and 22467. The last one of those four (AS17-147-22467) was included on pages 292-293 of the article EXPLORING TAURUS-LITTROW by Harrison H. Schmitt (NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, september 1973). Research: Danny Caes

Additional Information
The Landing Site Name "Sculptured Hills" is plotted on Topophotomap 43D1/S1 .
Nomenclature
Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 17 site.
A tiny crater near the base of the Sculptured Hills seems to have been called Smith, another one near Apollo 17's Station 8 was called SWP (Science Working Panel). Source: APOLLO 17 Preliminary Science Report.- DannyCaes May 8, 2014
