The concept of the Moon's key region is proposed for manned lunar base site selection. It is concluded that the western part of Oceanus Procellarum is a key region of the lunar surface whose detailed and comprehensive study in situ will be of prime importance for the exploration of the Moon and the utilization of lunar natural resources. As an example of an analysis of the lunar surface region on the basis of remote assessments, a description of the area 'crater Flamsteed-Flamsteed P' is given. With the use of a technique of assessment of surface material chemical composition, an average content of the oxides in the soil for the region has been calculated. The estimated soil composition in the Flamsteed P area closely coincides with the measured content of the main oxides in mare glass sample 10089. Using laboratory findings, determinations of hydrogen and helium-3 content in the lunar soils and the presence of these gases in the surface layer of regolith for the region is forecast.
