It is tricky to discern the orientation of the valleys between the large basin and spot 5, so I took scalber's cylindrical map and brought it into Celestia:
Some valleys radiate from the basin, but the ones that extend to spot 5 do not. I thought all the valleys were due to the big basin, but something else seem to be in play. |
