I've begun the task of mapping one of the landing sites. This is very much a work in progress and I want to make sure everything makes sense before moving forward.

Is the scale realistic?

The river graphics are placeholders and should be narrowed in the final version, especially the outflow that looks like it's a quarter km wide. Yikes. It's supposed to be a minor river, not the Amazon.

How long would it take to climb one of the two hills north of the river on foot?

Given the scale, would the middle section of river be considered a ravine or gully or something else?

Finally, is there a way to smooth the kinks in the contour lines using PS Elements? Whenever I try to do it by hand, I just end up making more kinks.
