[WIP] DESPERTAR DOS ANTIGOS - Abandonated Military Base

Traveler
This is a WIP of a local map. One of my first actualy. I am doing it using CC3+, my personal colection of symbols and textures, and a litle bit of GIMP.
It is for my setting "Despertar dos Antigos" (Aweakenig of the Ancients) a modern Monster Hunters (GURPS 4th) game inspired by the Blade films, Buffy and Supernatural.
The backgorund that the players have is this one:
"ORANGE HOUSE: It is a complex located 13km from the center of the municipality of Joana José, in the direction of the Chapada do Araripe. It is actualy a disused military base and not a simple house as the popular name makes believe. Worked officially as a center of training of the Cerrado Operations from the Brazilian Army since 1953, the year of its opening until 1985, the year of his retirement. However, there is strong evidence (all muffled by local authorities) that it functioned as a "torture basement" of DOPS, commanded by the, then military, Colonel Manoel Mendonca Fontana. In 2013, an attempt by IPHAN to transform the Orange House in a humanity patrimony, in order to preserve a possible archaeological site 15-20 thousand years old in the complex, was shelved by Raimundo Mendonça Fontana, a Judge responsible for the Federal Court of the 1st Region. There are evidence that the human bones that IPHAN wanted to preserve were already known by the command of the Orange House since the 1970s."

There is a lot of empty space though. Do you plan to fill it more (as I understand it's a WIP).
Here is the map with a bit more work on it.
Try to find nice features to add to the top of the hill (Morros?). Ancient ruins, totems, stone circles... and make it a story element.
I was inspired be this: http:
I would get rid of the drop shadow under the text, they tend to destroy the 3D effect induced by the compass as the texts look floating above the map.
The map is much more interesting now
