Sol 333: The One Kilometre Milestone

Since sol 329, Curiosity has driven an additional 44m approximately. That means it is now only a few metres away from hitting 1km of total distance covered for the first time in the mission. This is obviously an important milestone for a rover thats designed to go much further than any rover has gone before it. And the view is awesome as usual.

Looking at the panorama above and the map below, I estimated the sol 333 location as the place marked by a large white dot. We're on a south-west course heading straight for the ingress point. Can you match some of the features in the map to what you see in the panorama above?
