Hierarchical system of physiographic (landscape) units - Unique experimental map that was never used in any study but initiated a new perspective looking at the Moon

It contains a detailed, new, English, geographic nomenclature for the near side of the Moon. These names and division was never used afterwards even though it is more coherent than the traditional system.
