I'm still really unhappy with the shrubbery layer but will revisit that after I've looked at trees. A good undergrowth texture seems to be hard to find. I'm also considering redoing those roads, fixing the roads first on the road layer rather than confusedly working on two separate layers, neither of which is then selectable via the base layer.

The graphic designer in my life has also kindly directed me to http://texturelib.com for additional textures.
