Hayford is a lunar impact crater on the Moon's far side. It is a relatively isolated feature with the nearest named crater being Krasovskiy, some 300 km due south. Hayford has a well-defined edge that is not significantly eroded. The inner walls slope directly down to the floor, with little slumping or terrace formation. The interior floor is relatively featureless.
