Additional Information
Certain digital lunar atlases show wrong coordinates for Cinco. 10 degrees too much southward! - DannyCaes Feb 15, 2010
See labeled photograph of the Stone Mountain area which shows the location of the cluster of five craterlets Cinco a, b, c, d, and e north of Crown on the slope of Stone Mountain (source: Apollo Lunar Surface Journal - Eric M. Jones, at 144:35:02 GET into the mission of Apollo 16).
Nomenclature
Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 16 site.
Cinco is the Spanish word for 5 (five). There are five craterlets in the cluster called Cinco.
A small bowl-shaped crater further upward (southward) on the slope of Stone Mountain was unofficially called Crown (see page 222 in David M. Harland's Exploring the Moon; the Apollo expeditions (Springer, 1999).
