According to the online ALSJ (Apollo Lunar Surface Journal) Apollo 16's Hasselblad photograph AS16-109-17769 shows an unnamed crater immediately south of Halfway.
The description from the ALSJ's Apollo 16 Image Library:
- Traverse photo taken on the way to Station 1. An examination of Figure 6-15 in the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report indicates that this picture shows an unnamed crater immediately south of Halfway Crater. Note the tell-tale dimple crater in the south rim. Note, also, the footprints at the front of the Rover, a clear indication that they stopped so that one of them could get off and take a look at the crater.
The Project Apollo Archive's Hi-Res scan of the above mentioned photograph: AS16-109-17769-HR.
