AS15-M-2187 Rima Delisle is the main rille in this Apollo 15 Metric Camera view. A very small piece of the much longer Rima Diophantus can be seen in the extreme lower right corner. At the middle of the left margin one can see the 1-km circular crater Linda, named for no obvious region other than it caught the fancy of someone preparing a Topophotomap of the region.
