Apollo 11 Tranquility Base Landing Site

Here is an excellent view of the Tranquility Base landing site by the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter.  The descent stage and its shadow can be seen.  To its left is Double Crater and to its right is Little West Crater (sometimes called East Crater.)   The large crater in the lower right is West Crater.  The Eagle flew just north of West Crater.  Here is another site detailing those three craters.
 
This site also includes a map of the area of that first moonwalk.  An even more detailed map is here.
