Peanut Lake now appears to Ontario Lacus ( Lake Ontario )

The USGS Titan map certainly has some apposite names - I particularly liked Santorini and Crete!

The mainland area below Shangri-La still looks uncommonly like Scotland to me, and if we are to continue with the mythological (ish) naming of the area above it then I hope we eventually see a glen with a feature named 'Brigadoon'.

But, Bob -- any feature named "Brigadoon" would only be visible to the outside Universe for one day every 100 years. And in this case, that would mean Saturn years!

True, but that's obviously why Titan is so misty!

I still want to see Benny Hill on Mars.

Apologies for asking this question here if it is not the best place to ask it.

What is the highest resolution of images taken of Titan's surface? I have seen one or two highly cleaned up images with resolutions in the low kilometres, but I also recall that Cassini takes images with hundreds of meters resolution on most Titan close flybys. However, such high resolution images are hard for the layperson to find. Any pointers on what's available and where to find such images would be appreciated.

Thanks
