    You could add a border around it (without changing the size of the map) and place the text in the border and use lines/arrows to point to the places of note.

    I really love this style.
    The colors are very good and natural and the mountains are very cool.
    The only negative thing here is the resolution and the delta.
    By this resolution it is quite complicated to put in some information on the map, although it is very nice without labeling too.
    And I have a feeling, that with this small river size that delta looks a bit unnaturally big, but I am not a river expert, so it can be that I am wrong.
    I think this map is worth for a re-do in higher res, and than it would be perfect.

    So... decided to go ahead and redo the whole thing to fix these problems. Drew a new base at 3 times the size. Not too happy with the mountains now, though. I might go back and redo them to be much smaller. Thanks for the suggestions/nudging, everybody!

    Also, darkened up the colour scheme. I like this much better.
