a11_Tranquility Base_ raised relief map_lft oblique closeup (United States Army TOPOCOM)
Wonderful & surely rare commemorative raised relief map of Tranquility Base, as produced by the United States Army Topographic Command (TOPOCOM), ca. 1969/70.
TOPOCOM even took a stab at where the U.S. flag was planted. And actually, as a military organization, it’s pretty much expected. Speaking of U.S. flags on the moon...awesome:

I don’t understand the two “camera stations” at/on the LM. One, sure, initially as part of the MESA. But the other? Or is it just referring to photography out the two LM windows?
