It is very reasonable for a map to be symbolic, as Sigurd says. Here is a section of a map where the rivers are drawn proportionate to their flow in CMS, and reservoirs (lakes) are are proportionate to their storage capacity, and lengths are proportionate to the time it takes for the water to move there, all while remaining moderately geographically close...

Thanks guys for all the praise and helpful critiques. Someone mentioned the trees, and I have to agree that they're a definite weak point. I'm going to try something completely different for my next regional map.
Welcome and very cool for Paint/PS.Originally Posted by Nonsequitur
Good luck on the trees. Right now, they're the bane of my existence for my map.
