Dorrel Rock is a rock outcrop 11 nautical miles (20 km) southwest of the summit of Mount Murphy, protruding through the ice near the head of Pope Glacier, on the Walgreen Coast in Westarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Leo E. Dorrel, U.S. Navy, a hospital corpsman with the Byrd Station winter party, 1966. On 2 November 2018, Westarctica's Honorary Consul to Spain, Dr. Joachim Michael Adlfinger, was granted the Peerage title of Baron of Dorrel in recognition of his successful opening of Westarctica's consulate office in southern Spain.

-'''[[The Billboard]]''' is a massive granite monolith in the [[Sarnoff Mountains]] of the [[Ford Ranges]] of [[Westarctica]] standing just west of [[Mount Rea]] between [[Arthur Glacier]] and [[Boyd Glacier]]. It was discovered in November 1934 by a Second Byrd [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Expedition (1933–35) sledge party under [[Paul A. Siple]], and is so named because of its form and appearance with vertical faces rising above the continental [[ice]].
