It is located in Titan's southern hemisphere, between 14-15° south and 40-41° east. It is located within the Aztlan region.
Doom Mons is named after Mount Doom, a volcano that appears in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth, most prominently in The Lord of the Rings. The name follows a convention that Titanian mountains are after mountains in Tolkien's work. It was formally announced on November 13, 2012.
