UPDATE:

Now, about the natural way ridges are supposed to go...I've studied a contour ridgeline map of the Himalayas and see the ridges going all over the place. What do you guys think?

WELL,

the process is slow, but steady. First, I had to copy over the original map then get my head around how the drawing works for Birdseye. That is, the background is the green grass and you must then draw in the water, blocking out the land as your map requires. So, I put a ocean/water rectangle over the grass fill, ensured the copied map was moved to the water (all) sheet, changed colors to magenta so Color Key would work, and here we go. I'll update progress.

thanks
