It is located in a part of the lunar surface that is sometimes brought into view of the Earth under conditions of favorable libration and illumination.

Even at such a time, however, this feature is seen from a very low angle and little detail can be perceived.

This crater lies in the northern edge of the huge skirt of ejecta that surrounds the Mare Orientale impact basin.

This feature lies several hundred kilometers to the south of Mees, where the outer mountain range Montes Cordillera is located.

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