Geological Chronicle
Montes Agricola is a long, slender mountain range positioned near the eastern edge of central Oceanus Procellarum. Extending 160 kilometers across the lunar surface, it lies just northwest of a plateau containing the craters Herodotus and Aristarchus.
The range is more rugged at its northeastern end and features a rise at its southwestern terminus. A faint ray trace parallels the mountains just to the north, while a 20-kilometer gap between the range and the plateau to the south is covered by a flow of basaltic lava. A small wrinkle ridge near the northern portion is identified as Dorsum Niggli.
Located at selenographic coordinates 29.06° N, 54.07° W, the feature was named in honor of German Earth scientist Georgius Agricola. It is cataloged within the Seleucus quadrangle on the lunar nearside.
