You don't. You can go in the nation overview screen, which is still a pain, but far easier than scrolling the map.
Multiple provinces with the same name is also a sign of rushed map design, except for random maps, but even these can bse saved and provinces renamed by hand.
My preferred solution is to rename the provinces (I wrote a Python script) so that the province number is in the title. When I find that someone cast Gnome Lore and found 2 sites in "Depthless Deeps (159)", I just hit # and type "159" and it jumps to the correct province. It's not quite as quick as a "Go to province" button but it's quite close.
