The Ohio Range is a mountain range in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. It is about 48 km (30 mi) long and 16 km (10 mi) wide, extending WSW-ENE from Eldridge Peak to Mirsky Ledge. The range forms the northeast end of the Horlick Mountains and consists primarily of a large snow-topped plateau with steep northern cliffs and several flat-topped ridges and mountains. The highest point is the summit of Mount Schopf.
The Dater Glacier is a steep valley glacier in Antarctica, 24 nautical miles long and from 1 to 3 nautical miles wide, flowing northeast in a sinuous course from the eastern slopes of the Vinson Massif between Sullivan Heights and Veregava Ridge to Rutford Ice Stream which borders the eastern flank of the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains. At the lower end the Dater Glacier coalesces with the terminus of the Ellen Glacier, the two emerging from the Sentinel Range as one stream just north of the Flowers Hills.

Baker, an aviation electronics technician at Ellsworth Station, winter 1958.
Coleman Nunatak is a nunatak located near the head of Berry Glacier, 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of Patton Bluff in Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Richard I. Coleman, United States Antarctic Research Program meteorologist at Byrd Station, 1962.
Strauss Glacier is a glacier, 40 nautical miles (70 km) long, flowing between the Ickes Mountains and Coulter Heights to enter the sea at the east side of Land Bay, Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The naming was proposed to Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) by Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Named for Lewis Strauss, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, 1953–58, longtime friend and advisor to Admiral Byrd who recommended that the Antarctic be used to demonstrate peaceful employment of atomic energy.
Gregory Rock is a rock that outcrops above the ice slopes of western Hershey Ridge, 7 nautical miles (13 km) west-southwest of Linwood Peak, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.

Evans Glacier is a gently-sloping glacier 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, draining the southeast slopes of Travnik Buttress eastwards between Rugate Ridge and Poibrene Heights to flow into Vaughan Inlet on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins in an aerial flight, December 20, 1928, and named "Evans Inlet" by him for E.S. Evans of Detroit. A further survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955 reported that this low-lying area is not an inlet, but is formed by the lower reaches of Hektoria Glacier and the feature now described.
Paschal Glacier is a glacier about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, draining northwest between two ridges, the terminal points of which are Mount McCoy and Lewis Bluff. The lower end of this glacier merges with the flow of White Glacier and the larger Land Glacier near Mount McCoy before the latter feature debouches into Land Bay on the coast of Marie Byrd Land. Paschal Glacier was photographed from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, and was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1959–65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Evans W. Paschal, Scientific Leader at Byrd Station, 1970.
Manfull Ridge is a broad snow-covered ridge that descends gently from the north side of the Kohler Range about 5 nautical miles (9 km) west of Morrison Bluff, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–71, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Byron P. Manfull of the U.S. Department of State, Chairman of the Interagency Committee on Antarctica, 1967–69.

Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Dale R. Reed, ionospheric scientist at Ellsworth Station in 1958 and Byrd Station in 1960.
Reynolds Bench is a nearly flat bench, or mesa-like feature, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, that has a smooth, snow-covered surface but has rock outcroppings along its steep sides. The feature stands at the north side of the Kelley Massif, to which it appears to be joined, along the south side of the upper Clifford Glacier in Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Richard L. Reynolds, geologist with the USGS Lassiter Coast geologic and mapping party in 1970–71.
