    Wip New Software/New Map - Help with my sub-continent

    OK,

    So, I downloaded GIMP this morning and did some playing with it. I have no clue how I got this map to this point, but I like some of the elements of it. I took a look at Ascension's Atlas Style Guide tutorial for Photoshop and kinda played with that in GIMP.

    Anything I should be aiming towards to get it to look like a real map (rivers, lat/long lines, compass rose, mountains, towns, etc.)?

    What scale should I be going for on this (miles per inch)?

    Anything make this look wrong?

    -- Please Note: I have had GIMP for all of 5 hours or so. Please be gentle. --
