Oersted is a lunar crater that has been flooded by lava leaving only a crescent-shaped rim with a gap to the southwest. The rim climbs to a maximum height of 1.7 km. This feature lies to the southeast of the crater Atlas and southwest of Chevallier. To the south-southwest is Cepheus.The northern rim of Oersted is overlain by a broken lava-flooded craterlet. Just to the south is a younger still-intact crater named Oersted A that was formed after Oersted was flooded.
