Good news, I have the map almost finished. Bad news: The "almost" involves labeling the deposits.

Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)

The gray squares are ruins; the black dots are resource deposits; the greener-than-they-looked-when-I-drew-them lines are rivers; the brown circle with the little red dot is a volcano; the brownish outline denotes the storm.

So I had an idea.
We've got hexes; why not use them?
I would assign a couple letters to each column (or something like that) and each hex would have a designation. The 17th one down in the GW column would be GW-17, for instance.
I would simply record what resource or whatever was in each tile's deposit.

Sound good?

Yes. Why are the rivers green? And why are half of all hexes perfect and half are not?

read this and the last page again.

The rivers are green because it looked like more of a cyan when I added them, and half of the hexes are perfect hexes while half are fixed because I discovered how tedious it was a bit ago, asked if anyone cared if I finished dehexifying, and no one did.

Maybe restore the hexes then. Half rounded half perfect is kinda ugly.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It would probably be easier to de-hex the other half, actually.
Or at least, not much harder.

[Dariush]

Well, when I said I didn't care I meant that I'd be fine with either perfect hexes or natural borders, not the uglyass clusterfuck that is present right now.

Here's the finalized world map:

For details on what's where, check the OP.

Any final objections before carrying on to Step 2?

[scapheap]

the half and half need fixing, other than that it good.

[10ebbor10]

Yeah, perfect hexes are good for me.

[mesor]

Looks good to me but shouldn't it have 4 metal sources on the top right island?

Between me and scap we had tin, copper, iron and gold.

It's an ongoing process. It's gone on better than last time.

One is concealed by the hex designation thingy.

[mesor]

Oh ok.

Then yea looks good.

[Dariush]

Why is there a river in the middle of a desert on the top left island?

[Rolepgeek]

It's just in denile.
