Burnham is a small crater located to the southeast of the crater Albategnius, in a relatively smooth area of the lunar surface. To the southwest is Vogel.
The irregular tooth-like shape of the rim of Burnham protrudes to the southwest, giving the wall a distorted, asymmetric appearance. There are breaks in the rim to the northwest and southwest, the later forming a valley running about 15 km. The interior floor is rough and irregular, and lacks anything resembling a central peak. The crater is otherwise unremarkable.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Burnham.
