Jezero crater has been divided into more than one hundred map quadrangles to aid geological mapping.
The map quadrangles in the crater are informally named after Earth based national parks or preserves. The assigned map name will then form the 'theme' for naming targets of interest within that map.
The rover is currently in map quadrangle 'Rocky Mountain' hence the naming convention / theme :)
See attached mission map with the quadrangle names
