I'm attaching a preliminary map of Tethys where the latest Cassini images have been added to a Voyager-based map. The Voyager map is from http://solarsystem.dlr.de/PG/cassini/planning/ which had maps of Saturn's major satellites but this page has now disappeared or been moved.

This map is preliminary; I haven't removed seams etc. and I corrected only crudely for the varying lighting geometry across Tethys' disk. Interestingly, there seems to be a large and very shallow crater ESE of Penelope (the biggest crater visible in the highest resolution Cassini images). The shape of this crater is probably a bit distorted in the map since it's very near the limb. Hints of this crater may be visible in the original Voyager map.
