What is the name of the Cartographer?

What is the name of the nearest crater to the Cartographers name printed on the map?

According to the link, Paul Naylor was the cartographer, and he has hidden his name somewhere on the map, but I can't see it and hence find the nearest crater. Ideas?

I went for Cyrillus only because there seems (barely though!) shapes that look like letters. Other than that, it's simply a guess!

Maybe a pointer in the legend 

"I also decided to hide a couple of Easter eggs within the map. Both are linked to some information that is found in the maps legend. Happy hunting!"

Taking tubbyj's information from above. The Sea of Serenity is the man in the moon's eye. From Earth it looks as if it is oval. The associated craters are Posidonius, Le Monnier, Dorsa Aldrovandri, Littrow (this is where Apoll0 17 landed). These are all Wikipedia. On a separate page, can't remember which, Little West and Little East craters were mentioned as being near the 1969 moon landing. Hope this helps but I'm just guessing.

It took some digging but the highest res version of the map I found online is https://cdn.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/65f55419593744afbec48276c6e5b63c/resources/1563290972671.png which is at least readable, but I haven't found Paul Naylor's name anywhere yet, it's possible this one's just not doable without the full thing.

Oh wait, bottom right corner:

So I'd say the answer is Colombo (well technically it's on the edge of a crater that's closer but it's not named on the map so I doubt they want you to go digging up the name of the unlabelled one).
