  Cordillera Ranch
The Baetic Cordillera is home to a number of Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub plant communities, including shrublands, oak woodlands, broadleaf forests, and coniferous forests, which vary with elevation, soils, and topography.
The cordillera, together with the Rif Mountains of Morocco which face the Baetic Cordillera across the Alboran Sea, is one of the Mediterranean basin's ten biodiversity hotspots, known to ecologists as the Baetic-Rifan complex.
A similar radial valley, ''Vallis Bohr'', lies to the north of the Montes Cordillera, to the west of Bohr crater.

The sweeping curve of Montes Appeninus was clearly visible with the crater chains Ptolemaeus-Alphonsus-Arzachle and Purbach-Regiomontanus-Walter prominent on the terminator.
Montes Alpes were partly visible, but the Valles Alpes was sadly out of view, hidden in shadow.
On the edge of the lunar disc the slight broad depression of Montes Cordillera to the southwest of Grimaldi marked the edge-on location Mare Orientale, the most recent and perfectly preserved multi ringed impact basin on the lunar surface.

 Martian Dichotomy Section Four
The topographic rim of the Orientale basin is the Cordillera Montes, but the accepted surface expression of the edge of the transient cavity excavated during the impact is the Outer Rook Montes (Spudis, 1993).
The Outer Rook Montes are composed of elevated massif-type units, and they mark the boundary between the fractured plains of the Maunder Formation and the knobby deposits of the Montes Rook Formation.
If the Phlegra Montes represent the remains of the rim, or a ring of, the Utopia impact basin we should expect the arc of the mountain chain to be a relatively close match to a circle centred at the basin centre (48°N, 120°E: Spudis, 1993).

 Hover Montes - San Pedro de Cajas Home Town
It is here in the heart of the cordillera where Peruvian artisans produce the most interesting and varied handicrafts on the continent.
The center of San Pedro de Cajas consists of a plaza, a church and a seat of government; the standard assembly of a town established by the Spanish conquistadores in the late 15th century and an architectural format still evident throughout many of Peru 's province villages.
Apart from the essential rugs and flets needed to withstand the elements of the cordillera, decorative tapestries were only made in very low quantities.

The terrain is exceedingly rugged outward from the Montes Cordillera around Orientale but becomes increasingly smooth in the outer facies of the ejecta and beyond the ejecta deposits around the basin.
The Montes Cordillera ring and the outer and inner Montes Rook rings are generally indistinguishable in the southwestern part of the basin.
The Montes Cordillera ring and scarp is a seismic-wave-induced ring fault that formed outside the original crater probably as the result of sequential compressional and tensile stresses followed by mass movement of material toward the basin cavity.

 Hover Montes - Tapestry Weaving
Hover Montes was born a poor country boy in San Pedro de Cajas in 1942.
The mineral cochinilla (ko-chee-nee-ya) for example is used for the color red while the colors white, brown and fl are the only colors not processed since there are no vegetable dyes for these colors; they are natural colors that come directly from the sheep as such.
The beauty of the tapestry made by Hover Montes entitled "Familia Campero" shows the gathering of a typical Andean family outside their stone house in the cordillera.

 Montes Rook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montes Rook is a ring-shaped mountain range that lies along the western limb of the Moon, crossing over to the far side.
This range in turn is encircled by the larger Montes Cordillera, which is separated from the Montes Rook by a rugged, ring-shaped plain.
The Montes Rook is actually a double-ring formation, sometimes divided into the outer rook and the inner rook.

It lies on the irregular plain between the Montes Cordillera and Montes Rook, two ring-shaped mountain ranges that surround the Mare Orientale.
To the north of Wright is the Petit crater.

Winemaker Aurelio Montes had experimented with various percentage blends, finally deciding the 70% Cabernet and 30% Carmenere was the best.
Their Montes Alpha Cabernet from the 2003 vintage is quite good, though I prefer the less-costly blend of Cabernet and Carmenere.

La cordillera Central es la cadena montañosa más importante de la República Dominicana y se extiende desde las llanuras entre San Cristóbal y Baní hasta la península noroeste de Haití, donde se la conoce con el nombre de Massif du Nord.
En casi todas las alturas de la cordillera Central predominan rocas de origen volcánico, como son los tonalitos, basaltos y granitos.
De esta forma, una buena parte de la lluvia se precipita en la cordillera Septentrional y en las lomas más orientales de la cordillera Central (Reserva Cientifica Ébano Verde), mientras que el resto sigue viaje hasta dejarse caer sobre la vertiente norte del resto de la cordillera Central.

In this location the crater is occasionally brought into view due to libration, but not much detail can be seen because the crater is viewed from the side.
The crater is situated in the wide valley between the ring-shaped Montes Rook in the north and Montes Cordillera range in the south.
Focas is a relatively isolated crater, with the nearest craters of note being the Wright-Shaler crater pair some distance to the east along the same interior edge of the Montes Cordillera.
