Small Question...
I was wondering if it was possible to generate rivers and lakes in a map you created or do you have to hand draw everything?

There are many ways to generate rivers and lakes, but most of them need you to provide some sort of elevation information at various points on the map (as selden pointed out) before running the generation process. How easy it is to get there will depend in large part on what your starting map looks like.
If you're interesting in using Wilbur to convert an existing map, https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=29412 might be of interest, especially the https://www.cartographersguild.com/a...chmentid=80066 pdf that describes going from an image to something different. You can generate a terrain and then rivers, and then use that river map as an overlay on your existing map. Wilbur doesn't do too well with lakes, but one of the Fun With Wilbur tutorials shows a way to get some lakes (Volume 5, https://www.cartographersguild.com/a...chmentid=70257 ).
