Unfortunately there is no feature on the horizon which can be unambiguously identified in orbital images. The site was never imaged at very high resolution... S5 landed a bit off target. But one distant ridge to the east appears to be a crater rim, and if it is correctly identified it may lead to the exact landing location. It's not clear in this reduced version of the mosaic but eventually the full pan will be released. I think I have a match to this crater and it puts S5 in a location on the south edge of its tracking ellipse. Ewan Whitaker also agrees with the location I am now suggesting.
