Bonpland is the remains of a lunar impact crater that is attached to the walled plain Fra Mauro to the north and Parry to the east.

[1] This rim of Bonpland is heavily worn and eroded, with the intrusion of Parry in the east creating a bulging extension to the southeast.

The floor has been flooded by lava in the past, leaving a relatively flat surface that is broken by a series of narrow clefts.

The clefts cross the rim to the south and also to the north, extending into the neighboring Fra Mauro.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Bonpland.
