- Lunar Orbiter 5's Frame 138 shows a close-up of the well-known junction at Fra Mauro, Bonpland, and Parry.
- The curious craterlet Bonpland D with its rare "double western rim" (possibly caused by the nearby Dorsum Guettard) was captured near the upper left corner of Lunar Orbiter 4's frame LOIV-120-h2. Bonpland D is located south-southwest of Bonpland itself, on the eastern part of Mare Cognitum.
Bonpland D was also captured on Apollo 16's orbital Hasselblad photograph AS16-120-19243, and on several ITEK-panoramic photographs, such as AS16-P-5429, which makes me wonder if Bonpland D is perhaps an oblique impact crater (?).
