It's okay if the rivers/streams that run out of the mountains disappear behind them (and behind treetops in the forest where the rivers run east-west). In places with valleys aligned north to south, if you make the river more closely follow the shadow line and flow around the tips of terrain outlines it will clarify the lowest point of elevation between the ridges and make it appear more natural.
Haa. yeah. This was a case of being lazy trumping being meticulous. Now that I have a much better handle on my styles, I definitely should go back and redo them. Thanks for pointing that out. I had kind of forgotten I had done that.
