Abstract
This map shows the geology of Lunar Orbiter site III P-11 within which lies landing ellipse West Two, a potential early Apollo landing site in the lunar equatorial belt. The area is in Oceanus Procellarum, south of the equator, approximately 320 km south of the crater Kepler. It is covered by mare material and the evenness of the mare surface is broken only by mare ridges and some low domes. Relatively few of the superposed impact craters are larger than 200 m across. Terra material is absent.
