Pluto: Let the Mapping Begin

The naming of Pluto's features has already begun, as you can see above.  Visit Our Pluto for the map above as well as the ongoing efforts to bring definition to the dwarf planet's surface.  It appears these names have been submitted to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for consideration, so nothing is official yet. 

Last month the site noted:

Today we are pleased to announce our initial slate of names to be proposed to the IAU. We received so many great suggestions that winnowing down the list was a real challenge. Nevertheless, we limited our proposal to about ten names in each theme so as not to overwork the IAU nomenclature working group too heavily. There will be many more features to name, so rest assured that the names that didn't make the initial list will be used eventually. If your favorite name is not on these lists, please be patient!

Take a look at this IAU press release from 2013 regarding the naming of Pluto's new moons for more on the naming process:

After the discovery, the leader of the research team, Mark Showalter (SETI Institute), decided to call for a public vote to suggest names for the two objects. To be consistent with the names of the other Pluto satellites, the names had to be picked from classical mythology, in particular with reference to the underworld — the realm where the souls of the deceased go in the afterlife. The contest concluded with the proposed names Vulcan, Cerberus and Styx ranking first, second and third respectively. Showalter submitted Vulcan and Cerberus to the IAU where the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) and the Committee on Small Body Nomenclature (WGSBN) discussed the names for approval.
