Photographic Map
(This map is based on an Earth-based photograph that has been computer-corrected to zero libration. The vertical white lines indicate the left and right boundaries of the Rükl rectangle)

- Hahn (Van Langren's Grassi).
- Lacus Spei (formerly known as Mare Struve, and before that: Struve) (J.Hewelcke's Lacus Hyperboreus Inferior).
- Mare Incognito (a disallowed name from H.P.Wilkins for a so-called mare region beyond Gauss, only observable during favorable libration).
- Mare Trans Hahn (a disallowed name from J.H.Franz for a mare-like region beyond Hahn).
- Messala (the area at or near Messala was called Montes Amadoci by J.Hewelcke).
- Promontorium Archidaeum (W.R.Birt's disallowed name for a promontory-like formation between Berzelius and Geminus).
- Riemann

It should be noted that in this northeastern limb region H.P.Wilkins introduced several disallowed names; Hallowes, Liddiard, Paluzie, Polit.
Farside Named Features
(The following features are not formally included in the present Rükl rectangle, but they are adjacent to it and their centers are less than 10° beyond the mean limb -- so they may be seen here in whole or in part with a favorable libration)
