Evans is the remnant of a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the south-southwest of the immense Hertzsprung walled plain, and is located within that impact basin's broad skirt of "ejecta". This material has overflowed the northern rim of Evans and the northern part of the interior floor. The southern rim is not as heavily damaged, although it is irregular, eroded, and overlaid by a pair of small craterlets. The most intact part of the rim is the southeastern section.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Evans crater.
