Frame 1135, made by Lunar Orbiter 1, shows a detailed close-up of Gambart's floor and the craterlets on it. The distinct craterlet northwest of Gambart is Gambart EA.
Frame 1138 shows Gambart E' (top) and Gambart F (lower right corner); both to the west of Gambart itself.
Frame 3120, an oblique image made by Lunar Orbiter 3, shows Concentric Crater Gambart J and the area southwest of it. Gambart J is the 23th item in C.A.Wood's list of Concentric Craters (1978).
Frame 2112, made by Lunar Orbiter 2, shows a close-up of Gambart C (which is also known as Moreux)(see: Nomenclature, below).
Frame 120-h3, made by Lunar Orbiter 4, shows a vertical view of Concentric Crater Gambart J and its surroundings.
Gambart was also photographed during the mission of Apollo 16. It is seen on several orbital frames made by the Fairchild mapping/metric camera aboard CSM Caspers SIM-bay. Frame AS16-M-1418 shows Gambart a little bit "to the left" of the curved horizon's centre. Looking northward.

(IAU Directions) GAMBART.--A regular ring-plain, 16 miles in diameter, with a low border and without visible detail within; situated nearly on the lunar equator, about 130 miles S.S.E. of Copernicus, at the N.E. edge of a very hilly region. A prominent pear-shaped mountain, with a small crater upon it, stands a short distance on the S.E., and further in the same direction, a large bright crater with two much smaller craters on the N. of it. The rough hilly district about midway between Copernicus and Gambart is remarkable for its peculiar dusky tone and for certain small dark spots, first seen by Schmidt, and subsequently carefully observed by Dr. Klein. The noteworthy region where these peculiar features are found represents an area of many thousand square miles, and must resemble a veritable Malpais, covered probably with an incalculable number of craters, vents, cones, and pits, filled with volcanic debris. It is among details of this character that the true analogues of some terrestrial volcanoes must be looked for. Under a low angle of illumination the surface presents an extraordinarily rough aspect, well worthy of examination, but the dusky areas and the black spots can only be satisfactorily distinguished under a somewhat high sun. I have, however, seen them fairly well when the E. wall of Reinhold was on the morning terminator.

The two arcs
- About halfway between Gambart and Turner there's a curious system of two arc shaped hillocks of which the southern parts join together at a small bowl shaped crater. See: http://bit.ly/2wPDbXR- DannyCaes Aug 15, 2014
Nomenclature
- Jean-Félix Adolphe Gambart (May 12, 1800 – July 23, 1836) was a French astronomer. During his career he recorded a number of observations of the satellites of Jupiter, and discovered a total of 13 comets. In 1832 he observed the transit of Mercury across the Sun, noting that the planet appeared deformed as it approached the edge.
- This name was originally proposed by Mädler (Whitaker, p. 219).
- Gambart C, a bowl-shaped crater in Mare Insularum, was once known as Moreux. This was one of Felix Chemla Lamech's new names, but the I.A.U. did not accept the name Moreux.
- Research: Ewen A. Whitaker and Danny Caes (august 2003, mail correspondence).
- In Riccioli's nomenclature Gambart C was known as Dantes (a name no longer in use) (Whitaker, p. 212). - Jim Mosher
