713:. An abrupt rock and ice cliff 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km; 1.5 mi) west of Reed Ridge, along the northwest margin of the Ford Massif. The name was proposed by Peter Berrnel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the Thiel Mountains party which surveyed the area in 1960-61. Named for Staff Sergeant Fred W. Streitenberger, USMC, navigator of the Squadron VX-6 plane crew that flew the USGS party into the Thiel Mountains, and also to several other mountain ranges during the summer of 1960-61.
751:. Two isolated rock crags, or nunataks, which lie 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) west of Reed Ridge, along the northwest side of Ford Massif. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960-61. Named for USGS geologist Charles G. Johnson who, working from aboard the Glacier, studied the Beaufort Island and Cape Bird areas during 1958-59.
485:. The highest peak, 2,810 metres (9,220 ft) high, in the Thiel Mountains, on top of the Ford Massif and directly southeast of Walker Ridge. It is snow covered except for bare rock at the top. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party, 1960-61. The peak was climbed by Ford in 1961. Named for Charles A. Anderson, then chief geologist of the U.S. Geological Survey.

561:. A peak, 2,660 metres (8,730 ft) high, surmounting the escarpment at the north edge of Ford Massif. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960-61. Named for Jarvis B. Hadley of USCS, then Chief of the Branch of Regional Geology in the Eastern U.S. and administrator of USGS geology programs in Antarctica.
523:. An imposing rock cliff that rises more than 600 metres (2,000 ft) and forms the northeast extremity of Ford Massif. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960-61. Named for Warren B. Hamilton, USGS representative in charge of geologic studies in the McMurdo Sound dry valley area, 1958-59.
333:. A rock spur between Aaron Glacier and Counts Icefall on the east side of Ford Massif. A small peak rises from the end of the spur. Mapped by the USGS Thiel Mountains party of 1960-61. Named by US-ACAN for James L. Gray, Aviation Machinist's Mate, United States Navy, who lost his life in a crash of a Lockheed P-2 Neptune aircraft soon after take-off from Wilkes Station, Nov. 9, 1961.
409:. A rock spur which extends eastward from the Ford Massif between Green Valley and Aaron Glacier. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960-61. Named for Lieutenant George Janulis, pilot with United States Navy Squadron VX-6, who flew the USGS party into the Thiel Mountains.
599:. A notable rock spur forming the east side of Compton Valley in the north part of the Ford Massif. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960-61. Named for Capt. Joseph G. Walker, USMC, Squadron VX-6 pilot who made several flights in support of the USGS party in 1960-61.
675:. A flat-topped, snow-covered ridge extending northwest for 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) from the west part of the Ford Massif. The ridge forms the west wall of Compton Valley. Mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-61. Named by US-ACAN for Dale R. Reed, ionospheric scientist at Ellsworth Station in 1958 and Byrd Station in 1960.
371:. Glacier 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) long, that drains east from the Ford Massif between Janulis Spur and Gray Spur. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the USGS Thiel Mountains party, 1960-61. Named for John M. Aaron, USGS geologist and member of the 1960-61 and 1961-62 field parties to the Thiel Mountains.
637:. An ice-filled valley indenting the north side of Ford Massif between Reed Ridge and Walker Spur. Surveyed by the USGS Thiel Mountains party, 1960-61. Named by US-ACAN for Lieutenant (j-g.) Romuald P. Compton, United States Navy, who lost his life in the crash of a Lockheed P-2 Neptune aircraft soon after take-off from Wilkes Station, Nov. 9, 1961.
