a11_Tranquility Base_ raised relief map_rt oblique far (United States Army Topographic Command)

Wonderful & surely rare commemorative raised relief map of Tranquility Base, as produced by the United States Army Topographic Command (TOPOCOM), ca. 1969/70.

Erroneously, an Apollo 12 photograph of Pete Conrad on the moon is with the U.S. flag is featured. Really...how do you mess that up?! The photo of Aldrin facing/saluting Old Glory was plastered everywhere!

 

I believe the larger crater to the far right - it’s rim immediately to the right of the “e” - to be Little West Crater.

 

TOPOCOM even took a stab at where the U.S. flag was planted. As a military organization, it’s pretty much expected.
