I made one myself using Photoshop and an old map of the moon circa the Apollo days. I found the moon map in my library and I compared the map to the picture I had taken using a digital camera through a telescope. Anyway, most of the big things seem to be there. Give it a go! Take a picture through your telescope of the moon, and then compare it to a picture from one of the astronomy books in your library form the 1970s'. You'll feel absolutely impressed with your identification of the landmarks. There is one absolutely huge crater in my image which will show you where everything else is located.
