LO-IV-114H Feuillée is in the upper left, with Beer to its southeast. The 4-km crater to the northeast of Beer is Beer A. The chain of craterlets extending out of the frame to the right was once known as Fossa Archimedes (mentioned on the Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap), it should be called Catena Beer.

- None of Apollo 15's orbital panoramic ITEK-camera photographs of Feuillée (written correctly as Feuillée) are mentioned in the LPI's list, such as AS15-P-10222 which shows Feuillée pretty well! (near the frame's right margin).
