W.I.P map for upcoming novel... would love critique before starting in Photoshop

[GenoWrites]

Next step in the rough map. Had to play with the color a bit (cause I like sepia maps better). still rough. still looking for critique.



Gotta get to work or I'd write more.

Thank you all for your help,

Geno

Alrighty, I was able to work on the map on my lunch break, and I figured I'd get this question out there for those who have been kind enough to help me with this (and any others who would be willing to give advice).

I'm feeling like the map is muddy and part of the problem may be how much territory I'm trying to cover with this map. So tip, advice, critique... are all welcome. Also, I'd love to get opinions on which of these two would be better.

The compass rose is just a place holder. I'm wanting to start cleaning this up, but I'd love a few last minute critiques from willing parties. Thank you to those who've already responded, and thank you in advance for any others who will.

Blessings,

Geno
