Description: The sinuous path of Hadley Rille (Rima Hadley) winds along the Apennine Front. North is to the right, South Complex is at bottom center, North Complex is at the lower right. St. George Crater and Hadley Delta are in the lower left, and Hill 305 is at the upper right. At least two sets of lineations can be identified in Hadley Delta. Both sets exist in St. George Crater and on both sides of the inner slopes of Hadley Rille. Bedding is visible along some parts of the rille wall. At the upper right, the rille narrows and then widens abruptly. A smaller, less well-developed rille branches off from this enlarged area.
