Right: Consolidated Lunar Atlas, Plate C11 Dorsum Von Cotta is the north-south ridge to the right of center (closest to the terminator). To its immediate west is the parallel, but much shorter, Dorsum Owen, and to the south the diagonal ridge is a part of Dorsum Buckland. The north-south ridge passing through the crater on the far left is Dorsum Gast. The diagonal ridge above it is unnamed. The original IAU approval of the name Dorsum Von Cotta “as assigned” on the LTO charts would seem to apply only to the upper part, next to Dorsum Owen, for that is all that is labeled on the LTO’s and the accompanying LM-42. However, the position and diameter now given in the on-line IAU Planetary Gazetteer would seem to include the entire ridge, including possibly the part where it turns sharply to the southeast, paralleling Dorsum Buckland. That portion of the ridge is clearly depicted, but unlabeled, on LTO-42D1.
