Patapsco Vallis and Elysium Fossae (Enhanced Natural Colors; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
This VIS image shows two different types of "Linear Depressions". 

The wide depression on the left of the frame is a wide trough known as "Elysium Fossae", which most likely formed due to tectonic activity. 
The Fossae is probably bounded on both sides by faults. 
The narrow depression on the right of the frame, instead, is a Lava Channel called Patapsco Vallis. 
This Channel has Lava Flows on both sides which were probably formed by over spilling of lava as it flowed down the Channel. 

Both these features are located East of Elysium Mons.
