The rim of Bok is well-defined and is not significantly eroded. The inner walls slope gently down to the nearly level interior floor, which has a central peak near the midpoint. There is a slight inward bulge along the northwest wall.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Bok.
