    You've got a great start there. A few comments on your labeling:
    - You have a real mix of different type styles going on. I would stick to a smaller set of styles.
    - Some of your labels on things like Southgate and Eastgate are *extremely* small. Decide what size you intend your map to be viewed at, and then design your labels to be easily read at that size.

    Yeah, that's one thing I'm having trouble nailing down. I guess I need to figure out how to prioritize things on a world map. Maybe Southgate and Eastgate would be better left out of the world view and included on a regional map for that area. Thank you very much!
