Mons Vinogradov is a rugged massif that is located on the lunar mare where Oceanus Procellarum to the southwest joins Mare Imbrium to the east. There are three primary peaks in this formation, which rise to altitudes of 1.0-1.4 km above the surface. To the east of this rise is Euler crater, and to the southeast is an area of rugged ground that reaches the Montes Carpatus range. The Carpatus mountain range forms the southwest boundary of the Mare Imbrium.
The selenographic coordinate of Mons Vinogradov is 22.4 N, 32.4 W, and it has a maximum diameter of 25 km at the base. It was named after Aleksandr P. Vinogradov. This mountain was formerly named Euler Beta (β), or Mons Euler.
In the rugged ground just to the southeast of this mountain is a set of tiny craters that have been assigned names by the IAU. These are listed in the table below.
| Crater | Coordinates | Diameter | Name source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Akis | 20°00′N 31°48′W / 20.0°N 31.8°W | 2 km | Greek feminine |
| Ango | 20°30′N 32°18′W / 20.5°N 32.3°W | 1 km | African masculine |
| Jehan[1] | 20°42′N 31°54′W / 20.7°N 31.9°W | 5 km | Turkish feminine |
| Natasha[2] | 20°00′N 31°18′W / 20.0°N 31.3°W | 12 km | Russian feminine |
| Rosa | 20°18′N 32°18′W / 20.3°N 32.3°W | 1 km | Spanish feminine |
