For the sake of complete authenticity, "impact", "land" and the names of the "vehiculi" on the map should also be Latinized!

I'm wondering where you got the base... why would an old moon atlas have two hemispheres?

It didn't have two hemispheres, it showed the near side twice with two different naming schemes, by Hevelius and Riccioli.
