    So, to follow up, when making a map in CC3, one may likely have the following sheets (for an overland):

    BACKGROUND
    COASTLINE
    LAND
    COUNTOURS
    FOREST
    RIVERS
    STRUCTURES
    TEXT

    The top item, BACKGROUND would be the bottom sheet as it is the first sheet drawn, then the COASTLINE SHEET, etc, down the list. So, remember, the TOP sheet is Drawn first.

    LAYERS in CC3 are as Valarian said, merely groupings of associated items/symbols. For example, when I am drawing city maps, I may have 3 or more different sheets for buildings (Low, Med, High) to represent the different shadow lengths they all cast, but I would have only one LAYER for those buildings called BUILDINGS.
