The selenographic coordinates of this range are 29°04′N 54°04′W / 29.06°N 54.07°W / 29.06; -54.07. It continues for a distance of 160 kilometres. This range is a long, slender ridge formation that is more rugged at the "northeastern end." There is also a rise at the southwest terminus of the range. The faint trace of a ray parallels the range just——to the north. The 20 km gap between this range. And the plateau to the south is covered by, a flow of basaltic lava.
