    The original's scale is 1:15000000, but this picture smaller than the original, so I can't tell you exactly what's the scale (I had to make it smaller to present it in some other internet-forum).

    You mean the rivermouth near Pan Harkor?
    It's an estuary due to the dominace of tides in this region, like the Thames estuary for example. Growing up near an estuary somehow influenced my map.

    It's colorful and handdrawn. I don't know if I can get a decent scan but I could try.

    In what relative technological age is it that the world will have railroads?
    It's early 19th century.

    No, I meant the river at the far south, flowing north past "Niwt." It splits into two.

    The one near Matam splits into three for that matter... I has assumed this was a delta but I just saw the city/town in the middle of it.

    Those two are deltas.

    And I admit, I like to place cities in deltaic enviroments, possibly cause I live in one .

    I do something similar Yoscha. I live where 2 real big rivers connect so I always put my cities where rivers join.
