The Grimaldi quadrangle lies at the southwest margin of Oceanus Procellarum about 1,000 km east of Orientale, the youngest of the lunar multi-ringed basins. The distal ends of the ejecta blanket surrounding the Orientale basin partly covers the western third of the quadrangle. The relatively small, two-ring Grimaldi basin is in the northwest corner of the quadrangle, and the Humorum basin lies abo

The Langrenus quadrangle is on the east limb of the lunar nearside, at the southeast margin of Mare Fecunditatis. The crater Langrenus, about 140 km in diameter, is the most prominent feature. Rugged terra materials, scattered by craters of various sizes and ages, occupy much of the east half of the map area, and smooth mare materials in the Fecunditatis basin dominate the west. Mare Spumans and o

The large crater Petavius, about 180 km in diameter, is the dominant geologic feature within this quadrangle at the southeast border of Mare Fecunditatis on the east limb of the near side. Four categories of materials have been distinguished herein: (1) terrae, with rugged to gently rolling topography and moderate albedo; (2) plains, of low relief and moderate albedo; (3) craters, with low to rugg

The area was mapped as part of the U.S. Geological Survey program of classifying and evaluating lands in the public domain. Resources of economic interest in the map area include oil, gas, water, phosphate rock, gypsum, and analcime. The area mapped includes the rocks between the Tensleep Sandstone and the Morrison Formation and Tertiary and Quaternary deposits.
