It is approximately 85 km long, extending from the vicinity of Gruithuisen crater to the area west of Delisle crater. The south end of the dorsum is a low hill of terra material that predates the mare lava.
The ridge was named after Walter Hermann Bucher, a German-American geologist and paleontologist.
