OK, downloaded and converted the .imq file to a .img, and used NASAVIEW to generate a GIF image.
There are a couple of other little features elsewhere in the image, but small beer compared to the main tract.

No useful lats and longs there. As I recall one has to extract them from elsewhere in the endless heaps of files (All very clumsy and awkward, but that's life).
Here is the context image:
And a miniature version of the main image to show where it fits in. (note that I had to do a left-right swap of the mini image to get it to match)
In the context image, you can see the dark line along the ridgetop (I suspect I was wrong earlier with my 180 degree idea. That looks a LOT like a ridge crest)
Now all I need to do is find how to locate an image on Mars if I know WHEN it was taken by MGS...
