Need to improve the look of my NYC Geography based puzzle.

New York City NY

Description

I have an ok prototype of a word puzzle based on NYC geography. My limited and outdated technique is the best I could do so far. It need more skill work. A section of the page it's on is shown. It want it to look more like a map, better showing land and water, and with more New York-related visuals. I will send the full puzzle image to any potential art collaborator. It could be a fun thing for an artist's portfolio to have. It can have design elements that you think appeal.
