This is partially a data problem, and I think partially a rendering problem from QGIS. I discovered these issues along the way, and for future maps I'm going to have to use other sources that I already knew about and should have used.

The main purpose of this map was simply practice. I've also discovered in the process of making this map that having a real purpose for the map is more important than I thought it would be. My future practice maps must be more specific.
