Overland Template Suggestions - Continent Scale

Hi!
So, I’m working on an overland map of continental scale (~4500km x ~2500km). In the past I’ve made the mistake of shoehorning in too much detail, so I’m limiting myself to key cities, important rivers/lakes, national borders, and regional biomes. I also plan on including some Lo-Fi elevation indication through some layers of outer glow and edge fade.
My question is, which overland style (incl. annuals) would you say is best suited to this sort of map?
Cheers!

Sue has a page that links to all Annuals.
It would depend on what you want. Some overland templates are for forested areas, some for deserts or barren areas.

The wall of links that Jim mentioned above is here:

Erdan Worlds, Mercator, Ancient Realms. There are many suitable styles.
My apologies, I was on my cellphone last night and still wanted to be helpful.
@JimP - No worries :) I guessed as much.
Thanks for the links and the advice :) The map is predominantly grasslands/plains, with various types of forest, and a couple of mountain ranges. The intention is to get across the national borders and key geological features without getting bogged down in colourising every different terrain type, etc. I guess I'll try a few of the monochrome templates, just wondered which of the many overland styles people would recommend.
