    I don't think you need to remove the island, necessarily, but maybe change the size? As it is, the 3 islands look too similar in size and shape, giving the geography kind of a too-regular artificial feeling.

    Ok I scraped the map I started as was not happy with it at all, so started a new one this is based off a lake in Malaysia that I saw on a program I watched this has no mountains as it’s like a rainforest running through each land mass is back water rivers, and I am planning on putting little villages on the landmass like tribes

    Remember: Rivers flow into themselves from the highest point out to sea.

    A really cool way to think of rivers, are Trees. Think the branches are inland and its trunk is flowing towards the lowest point. There are sometimes unique exceptions. But that is mostly the rule of thumb. And when there is a flatter area towards the coast, well a river can have roots like a tree.
