Hello, Cereth.

You've a quite interesting map here, I must say. I like the clean lines of it. It has a very succinct set of data yet gives the view a good overview of the region.

I do like your two-tone borders. They do a good job of delineating the area. The dotted lines for your main roads were an interesting choice, however; my eyes easily traveled over them from town to town as if being drawn by them.

As to your rivers, you might try a one or two pixel blur or fade over each to soften them a bit.

I am a bit confused on the political borders, though. Am I to assume that the entire cream-colored area is one political entity which will eventually be surrounded by others?

This is a very nice start and I look forward to following your progress.

Regards,

Gary
