The large mare extending for a distance of 420 km between the two arrows is Mare Smythii, which is at the transition between hemispheres in several respects.
Smythii is a fairly extensive mare yet it occupies an old degraded basin, the western rim of which is detectable by carefully looking near the horizon and at the left of the mare-filled depression.
Mare ridges appear to be higher and rilles or grabens deeper than on the east side.

The position of Mare Crisium with respect to the limb or edge of the moon is a dramatic indicator of an effect called libration.
This the position of Mare Crisium lying near the limb is the perfect indicator, at least during the moon's waxing phase.
South of that is the small sea Mare Humorum (Moisture), connected to the ocean by a 'strait' with a trio of highland 'islands' in a triangular formation within.

Crisium is nevertheless considered older than Nectaris and Humboldtianum because these lineations and chains are relatively rare in spite of comparable basin sizes; the most conspicuous ring of Crisium is 500 km in diameter and the outermost high ring has a 680 km diameter Wilhelms, 1973).
This overlap of mare material by Imbrian crater materials is rare on the Moon and suggests that the older mare unit is older than most or all near-side mare material.
In Mare Smythii, some material has fresh-appearing flow lobes and hummocks, and thin, sparsely cratered dark material is superposed on the unusual multiple-ringed craters or surrounds fresh-appearing rilles that are probably its source.

 Hitchhiker's Guide to Rukl Chart 26
Crisium is persistently granular when lit "from the other side" (near the terminator after full moon).
On a silly note, the whole of Mare Crisium looked tonight just like a baby seal about to pounce on Palus Somni: the two eastern dorsa are the ring around its neck, the two prominent craters (Pierce & Picard?) are the eyes, the little dorsa just west of there are whiskers.
There is further conjecture that the exceptional brightness of some craters is due primarily to the youth of the crater, and that there is little variation in the brightness of the ejecta in major regions of the moon.

 Moon Miners' Manifesto: Prize Lunar Real Estate
This oval Mare, the size of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan together, is clearly distinct from the "chain of seas" that run into each other: Fertility, Tranquility, Serenity, Rains, the Ocean of Storms, etc. I am aware of no one else who is partial to Crisium.
In contrast, a beacon in any of the eastern seas (Tranquility, Fertility, Crisium, etc.) would not be visible until the waning (post-full) Moon that rises later in the evening and would be noticed by far fewer people.
As the mare basin-filling lava sheets were laid down in distinct episodes with lava tubes likely forming in each layer, there may be many intact lavatubes well below the surface layers in some lunar seas.
