- Lewis was one of two features (the other being Kearons) that Antonín Rükl omitted from his 1972 Maps of lunar hemispheres (illustrating the new IAU nomenclature) because he was unable to find a likely feature at the stated position. - JimMosher JimMosher
- On the farside map of Hallwag, the name Lewis is printed too much west-southwest of its true location. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Oct 8, 2011
- Lewis is also the name of a small craterlet on the Taurus-Littrow Valley, aka the landingsite of Apollo 17's LM Challenger.
