Indeed it's good to look at the context to see the entire basin that raised rim is a part of. Here is an updated map, now with a second image from the survey orbit that shows a closeup of this raised rim and nearby conical mountain. In honor of this closer orbit the resolution of the map is now increased to 8K.
Full 8K resolution and polar views are here -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
