Named Features

Abduh (a disallowed name for Lyell A northwest of Lyell itself, see Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 61-A2) (called Ring Nebula by D.Caes because of its remarkable appearance during Full Moon: a thin high-albedo ring around a tiny "star").
Air Bubbles (a nickname from D.Caes for the couple of odd depressions at the northwestern end of Rupes Cauchy).
Aryabhata
Barbara Mesa (an informal NASA-related name for the pronounced peninsula east-southeast of Maskelyne, see LPOD US-1 and Other Signposts) (once called Promontorium Acutum by J.D.Cassini, Prom. Methonis by Van Langren, Prom. Heracleum by J.Hewelcke, not named by Riccioli).
Bear Mountain (an informal NASA-related name for the elevation Maskelyne Alpha between Maskelyne A and Lonesome Mesa) (near the lower margin of Chart 36) (additional note about the name Bear Mountain: this is not the same as the one on the floor of the Taurus-Littrow Valley in which Apollo 17 landed!).
Bob's Bend (an informal NASA-related name for the arc shaped appendix north of Barbara Mesa, see LPOD above).
Boot Hill (an informal NASA-related name for the boot-shaped island Maskelyne Theta, south of Maskelyne, see LPOD above).
Cajal
Cape Bruce (an informal NASA-related name for the curious "hook" west of Maskelyne A, near the lower margin of Chart 36).
Cape Venus (an informal NASA-related name for the small peninsula-like appendage Maskelyne Zeta near the lower right corner of Chart 36) (also called Saint Theresa?).
Cauchy (J.Hewelcke's Insula Aea).
Chama Peak (an informal NASA-related name for a hillock very near the lower right corner of Chart 36).
Diamondback Rille (an informal NASA-related name for the rille between Maskelyne G and Maskelyne X).
Diana
Donna
Dorsum Lamont-Maskelyne (an unofficial name from D.Caes for the wrinkle ridge running from Lamont to Maskelyne) (see also LPOD March 11, 2014) (the part of it near Maskelyne and Maskelyne B was called Snake Ridge during the hey-days of Project Apollo).
Dorsum Sinas (an unofficial name from D.Caes for the wrinkle ridge west-southwest of Sinas).
Duke Island (an informal NASA-related name for the hillock Maskelyne Phi slightly rightward of the lower left corner of Chart 36).

Gemini Twins (an informal NASA-related name for the couple of bowl shaped craterlets west of Barbara Mesa).
Grace
Hussein (a disallowed name for Cauchy A north-northwest of Cauchy itself, see Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 61-A2).
Jansen
Jansen Beta (the arc-shaped pronounced hill east of Carrel, south of Jansen).
Lonesome Mesa (an informal NASA-related name for the pronounced peninsula east of Barbara Mesa).
Lost Basin (an informal NASA-related name for the irregular crater southwest of the peninsula Cape Venus).
Low Mesa (an informal NASA-related name for the bay-like area south-southeast of Lonesome Mesa).
Lucian
Lyell
Mare Tranquillitatis (Van Langren's Mare Belgicum, J.Hewelcke's Pontus Euxinus).
Maskelyne (Van Langren's Navei, J.Hewelcke's Insula Philyra).
Menzel
Mitika Peak (one of the rare names on Rand McNallys moonmap for the hillock Jansen Alpha immediately southwest of Jansen F', aka Cajal).
Noether (a disallowed name for Cauchy D east-northeast of Cauchy itself, see Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 61-B4).
Rima Cauchy (once known as Fossa Cauchy, see Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 61-A3).
Rupes Cauchy (once known as Fossa Casals, see Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 61-A3).
Scopuli Erichtini (J.Hewelcke's disallowed name for the somewhat bright areas at Arago and Jansen).
Sinas (and the curious half-disc shaped plateau at the southern part of its rim) (see also at Norman in Oceanus Procellarum).
Sinas Skylight (an unofficial name from D.Caes for the unusual pit east-southeast of Sinas, northeast of Sinas A, see lower part of page Skylights).
Sinus Phasianus (J.Hewelcke's disallowed name for the east-southeastern corner of Mare Tranquillitatis).
Snake Ridge (an informal NASA-related name for the wrinkle ridge west-northwest of Maskelyne, north of Maskelyne B).
The Cape (an informal NASA-related name for the small peninsula-like appendage Secchi Alpha near the lower right corner of Chart 36).

Wash Basin (an informal NASA-related name for the bowl-shaped crater Maskelyne W, west of Boot Hill).
