Parkhurst is a heavily degraded lunar impact crater to the northeast of the Mare Australe on the far side of the Moon.

The small lunar mare named Lacus Solitudinis lies due north of Parkhurst.

Several satellite craters lie along the rim edge, with Parkhust D along the northeast, B to the north, and X along the northwest.

The satellite crater Parkhurst Q pushes into the southwestern rim, distorting the edge shape.

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