a11_Tranquility Base_ raised relief map_map only (United States Army TOPOCOM)

Wonderful & surely rare commemorative raised relief map of Tranquility Base, as produced by the United States Army Topographic Command (TOPOCOM), ca. 1969/70.

I believe the larger crater to the far right - it’s rim immediately to the right of the “e” - to be Little West Crater.

TOPOCOM even took a stab at where the U.S. flag was planted. And actually, as a military organization, it’s pretty much expected. Speaking of U.S. flags on the moon...absolutely awesome:

Compare/contrast. So cool. Again, pretty damned good job:
