Montes Agricola

Montes Agricola is an elongated range of mountains near the eastern edge of the central Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare. It lies just to the northwest of a plateau containing the Herodotus and Aristarchus craters.

The selenographic coordinates of this range are 29.1° N, 54.2° W. It continues for a distance of 141 km. This range is a long, slender ridge formation that is more rugged at the northeastern end. There is also a rise at the southwest terminus of the range. The faint trace of a ray parallels the range just to the north. The 20 km gap between this range and the plateau to the south is covered by a flow of basaltic-lava. There is a small wrinkle-ridge near the northern part that is identified as Dorsum Niggli.

This range is named after Georgius Agricola.
