Franklin Crater is located in the northeast part of the visible Moon. According to Wikipedia: "The rim of Franklin is generally circular, with a pair of outward bulges in the western wall. The inner wall is terraced, and there is a central peak at the mid-point of the floor. A narrow cleft runs to the west-southwest across the floor, passing to the north of the central peak."
