Map of a real region

Map of a real region
Hi everyone!
I'm almost done with a regional map of my region, redrawn from a google maps screenshot, with Erdan Worlds. Names of cities are quite accurate while names of areas are sort of funny names... Both in a macaronic latin.
Have a look and criticize it. I'll be happy to get as many suggestions as you like ;).
I also have a question: I drawn the heralsds copying the originals. I didn't manage to find a good way to proper integrate them in the map... I tried with RGB matrix, transparency, glows... But not a great result so far.
I guess that a proper RGP transformation that turns everything in to something paler and yellowish may work... but i didn't manage to et it.
Suggestions?

Thanks Sue!
You are right they are really difficult to read. Actually the blue was a conscious choice of mine... I tried the black and it looks much better (Also, I cheated and did, at least some of them, bigger... I guess Mr. Voltolina will not complain 😜).
I may also add a scalebar and a compass...

No worries @Loopysue!
Actually after another fresh install it works much better. I am not working much on it in the last days but it never crashed.
As mentioned I managed to go on a bit with the project adding some details here and there. But now I think I didn't use the best template: I found another map of, more or less, the same time with much clearer details. I may try to use it to fill the "holes" with proper content (which is in 90% of the cases just gardens ?).
Below how it is slowly progressing:
