Some Test Doodles

Hi Malakor,

In the first map, the river in the middle of the picture forks the wrong way. Rivers almost always join other rivers but once joined, tend almost always not to split unless there is a manmade reason or the river is close to the coast and becomes a delta.

Define "close"

The Mississippi spits out a minor river about 100 miles from the coast, and it looks like the Nile's delta starts about that distance, also, though I am not sure how much of that is due to manmade irrigation.

Actually, it looks like that offshoot from the Mississippi might be man-made, as well.

The Volga River's delta begins about 50 miles from the coast of the Caspian Sea.
