Wow! these are all just amazing!
My only critique if I may be so bold would be that the rivers are a bit lost when not looking close in so could do with something to make them pop out a little more maybe?

Thanks! I know that the rivers aren't quite there yet. I have a couple of routes to try. I'll post some versions as they progress.

This is a crazy cool project. I'm looking forward to seeing the app in motion

It's a map creation app. But it's also online, so inevitably allows you to share the viewable map with others, and they can interact with them. The tool allows you to add in some notes that other users can see - but only the creator gets to edit the map (for now).
And, keeping to the rule. Some more sketches:
Here's the final sheet of those extra icons.
