Quite good for a first map.

A couple of suggestions though:

The eroded font you use in some places doesn't really work. It just looks kind of fake and gimmicky. I think you should have just used the other font.

It looks like you were trying to do curved text in pieces. If the software you are using can't do text on a path, you might want to try Inkscape, if only for labelling. You can import your map, do the labelling, and then export just the labels.

The bright white you use for the lakes and to highlight some of the text just looks odd and out of place.
