Strictly speaking, this page doesn't exist yet, it's up to someone (for example: an universitarian) to do something about it. Read: someone who has the perseverance to put information in it (in this embryonic page) while exploring the region near Promontorium Laplace on the online ACT-REACT Quick Map of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (the LRO).
I say, I want to keep my brain active (I'm a labourer at an industrial port) and so I decided to do it myself (the bold exploration of the region near Promontorium Laplace).

Sunday the 20th of September 2015, at about, say, 15:30 U.T.
Exploring the region of Promontorium Laplace on the online ACT-REACT Quick Map of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) :
And what do I see...
First of all there's this neat rectilinear looking rille which runs "diagonally" alongside the southwestern part of Promontorium Laplace's most southern end, and then there's this most chaotic "waving" continuation of it alongside the promontory's southeastern part. Call it a mixture of both rima and dorsum (rille and wrinkle ridge).
At the "land's end" of Promontorium Laplace (the most southern part) there's a short pronounced rectilinear wrinkle ridge, something which seems to be the "start" of a most impressive system of wrinkle ridges which run southward toward the bowl shaped crater Laplace A (more precisely: eastward of it).
I would like to call this system of wrinkle ridges Dorsa Laplace A (not very unique, but this seems to be the most safe way to give such an impressive formation an acceptable name).
There's more to come, because this region shows a cornucopia of interesting formations!

Extensions and nearby satellite systems of Rima Laplace
- Rimae Laplace West (an additional name for the small system of rilles at the western part of the row of hillocks west of Promontorium Laplace) (the Laplace hillocks at the northeastern part of Sinus Iridum). The "Big Shadows" presentation of the LROC-site's Quickmap shows shallow domelike elevations at the western part of the Laplace hillocks west of Promontorium Laplace.
- Rima Recti southwest (an additional name for the sinuous rille southwest of Montes Recti) (about halfway between the unnamed hillock east-northeast of Promontorium Laplace and Montes Recti) (must be the eastern continuation of Rima Laplace).
