LO-I-031M Dorsa Cato are the ridge(s ?) slightly to the left of center in this view which includes [/Catena%20Taruntius Catena Taruntius] in the upper right, and [/Anville Anville] a little above the center right margin. The ridges just below [/Anville Anville] are part of [/Dorsum%20Cushman Dorsum Cushman]. The prominent ridge in the lower right might possibly be part of Dorsa Cato, but no name is assigned to it on LTO-79B2 (where it appears), so it is most likely unnamed .

Nomenclature
Marcus Porcius; Roman geological engineer (234-149 B.C.).
- Dorsa Cato was among the feature names approved "as now assigned and printed on the [/LTO 1:250,000 lunar map series]" (LTO's) in 1976 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB IAU Transactions XVIB]). The name appeared provisionally on LTO-61C3. The name was applied only to the single prominent ridge to the southwest of the linear depression near the center of the image shown above. There is a strong suspicion that the [/LTO LTO] map maker confused the Latin "dorsa" with "dorsum", using the plural form (dorsa) for isolated ridges and the singular form (dorsum) for groups of ridges. - JimMosher JimMosher
