    Your small scale map looks perfectly adequate for use as a novel-writing tool. What exactly is it that you want a more skilled cartographer to bring to the table besides "looks nicer"? If you are concerned about realistic climates and so forth you can ask for help on the forums.

    Just to point out, you're getting "small scale" backwards. In cartography jargon, "small scale" means "things are drawn small" not "small area is covered". The area covered is the "extent" of a map and generally scale and extent have an inverse relationship. Small scale means large extent, and vis versa.
