I finally added those missing farm houses and barns, did some more texturing work, cleaned up the edges of the forest, and added scale bars and a title.
I am still interested in further suggestions, but I went ahead and posted the current map to the CWBP forum.

I cross-posted into the CWBP forum, and some additional feedback there indicated that my scales were screwy. So I resized the barns, adjusted the scales, added some labeling and a legend, dropped in a couple more structures, added some paths, and pasted in the compass rose from the larger Tawaren Basin map. Together with the Lydian and Chaucer fonts, I think that adds some degree of stylistic unity between the two.
Additional suggestions are, as always, welcome!

I decided to give the main image some additional utility with some labels, a couple of paths, and arrows pointing the way toward the nearest other major settlements. I also brightened it up just a bit more. This is probably my final entry.

That's ... pretty. WOW.
Thank you very much. I think I am prouder of this map than of anything I have made yet. I quite surprised myself with it.

Darn. Your the 3rd person today I have tried to rep but I have to spread some more around first...

Very Cool Mid. I really love your forest texture. How did you achieve it?
