Named after George Washington Carver - American botanist (1864-1943).

Carver is a lunar impact crater on the far side , due east of the walled plain Van der Waals. To the northeast is the crater Rosseland, and to the south-southeast lies Kozyrev. Despite some wear due to impacts, the wide inner wall of this crater still contains some terraces. There are several tiny craters along the rim edge and the inner walls, but no notable intersecting impacts. (wikipedia entry)
