Mostly area covered by Mares. In the south a part of mare Nubium. The western part of the chart borders three formations,  Bonpland, Parry, and Fra Mauro part of a highland with the marks of the evolution of the Mare Imbrium basin, ( clefts, rilles, valleys). In the crater Davy we find a chain of crater pits.

Crater. (34 km/21Mi mi ø ) (Dept: 820m /2,690ft) (11.8°S, 8.1°W) Circular formation. Low outer rim, interior partly resurfaced, southeast rim has been overlain by Davy A.

GUERICKE - Otto von Guericke (1602– 1686) German Physicist and technician. Inventor. Worked on vacuum, and on electrostatic repulsion.

MÖSTING A -  Johannes S. von Mösting (1759-1843) Danish banker and finance minister. Helped found the scientific journal "Astronomische Nachrichten".

Crater. (13 km /8Mi ø ) (3.2° S, 5.2° W). Small. Bowl-shaped. Mösting A, the site formed the fundamental location in the selenographical coordinate system. It was defined as having the following coordinates: 3° 12' 43.2" S, 5° 12' 39.6" W.

PALISA - Johann Palisa (1848-1925) Austrian astronomer, discoverer of 22 asteroids, from 136 Austria in 1874 to 1073 Gellivara in 1923. Some of his notable discoveries include 153 Hilda, 216 Kleopatra, 243 Ida, 253 Mathilde, 324 Bamberga, and the Amor asteroid 719 Albert.
