R1: Bohnenberger was on the west side of Montes Pyranaeus; small craters to the north and south. A north crater and Bohnenberger appear to form the exterior walls of a valley. Half way up , there is an east-west break the mountain range. There's a jagged ridge on the the N side of the valley - both sides of the valley, actually. The valley looks to be crossed with 2 ridges.
The Montes Pyrenaeus appears short with interruptions, but its western edge appears to be continuous from Bognenberger to Gutenberg.
