There has to be a way to do this!

Okay, so my hasband and I are initiating the next generation of gamers... Our two boys, age 14 and 16. My husband is running a 2nd ed. game for myself and the kids. He's having a bit of an issue keeping the combat straight in his head, and the other night he mentioned wishing he had a terrain table (battle map).
I bought one for outdoor terrain... But it wasn't exactly what he needed. Then I remembered seeing g in one of the tutorials that cc3+ can make battle maps. I thought 'duh, that's one of the reasons I bought it!'
After reminding him that this program could do it, I asked him what type of battle map he wanted. He wants a mountain based kill box. I figured no problem... And set out to make it. I have it almost done and ran into an issue that shouldn't be happening. I have my dusty valley... I have my cliffs on either side, I have the dry riverbed(after a fashion- there is no river, dry bed in the mapping tools) and I have a dead tree in the valley. The map is based on his description of where we were during our last session... We were ambushed in this kill box.
One thing I was missing, is the continued mountains on either side... And I came up with a brilliant idea. I chose one of the Great peak mountain symbols, and placed them just OUTSIDE my map border so that the sides of the mountains would be just inside. I remembered from the tutorials that nothing will stay outside your map border. Once I was done, I clicked the redraw, expecting my mountains to disappear outside the map. They didn't... I now have mountains outside my frame. I know there has to be a way to do this... Is there a step I missed?
