To me the eastern end of the map looks fine but how is the western end drained and where is the watershed?There is a forest in the south west which is fine but it is surrounded by not forest. If the clear area is due to settlement, then that is fine also but if that area is not settled then why no forest?Now, if the clear area is not forested because there is insufficient rainfall for forest, which makes sense as there are no rivers draining that region then where is the water for the southwestern forest coming from? It could be that the hills squeeze enough water or that rainfall from the hills and may be an aquifer surfacing, bringing water from the distant mountains is sufficient to explain the forest.</blockquote>
