Suggestion: once you've inked the map, scan it in to the computer. That way you can print it out and colour the printed version so you don't mess up the original. Then, if you make a mistake, you can just reprint the map and re-colour.

I think it would be fun to name the town something to do with the name of the apples, If you've got a name for the apples already. If not I'd suggest something like Starbite Apples and then you could have some cool folklore surrounding the grove popping up after a fallen star crashed nearby and that being where the apples came from. Then you could call the town something like Starfaln or something. This was a fun little train of thought, I hope you get a kick out of reading this at the very least! Edit: The star could have fallen in like the river and changed the water in the area and made the apples grow with a cool colouring and maybe some fun magic properties! Okay I need to stop I'm having far too much fun building this up and it's not even my Town!

to come up with a town name randomly choose words from other languages and mix them together. the languages can either D&D based languages or real life languages. you can also chop up words and rearrange them to create new names. assigning numbers to word, languages, and syllables, and rolling a dice is a great way to create something interesting and unique for an adventure

Serpentine Grove, Fort Sunther (keeping the name of when it was a military fort/town), Dotan Riverfront, Delicious Ruby (or some sort of red jewel that signifies the apples, and since it's a dragon protecting them), that's all I can think of haha.

A couple thoughts. You might try varying the size of tree outlines. It's hard to suggest different types of trees in this style, but using different sizes at least suggests variety (and makes things like orchards where all the trees are the same size stand out). Remember that where you draw shadows suggests the position of the sun. If the shadows are in the southeast, the sun is to the north and your town is going to be in the southern hemisphere, which may be important in world building.

Muffins! The dragon wants muffins. When I was a kid there was a book called _The Muffin Dragon_, IIRC. The dragon initially extorted the baker for all the muffins. After the baker went broke, then the dragon worked out a deal where it provided heat for the ovens. As an adult, it seemed like an underwear gnomes situation, but as a kid I loved it.

Here's a list of words that gets me thinking about a riverside town that grows apples. Red, Scarlett, Crimson, Ruby, Vermillion Ford, Stream, River, Bank, Crossing, Brook, Creek Orchard, Garden, Grove, Yard Apple, fruit Town, burg, ville, ton Somehow I like Ruby Grove and Rubyford best followed by Crimson Creek. The Ruby names evoke the value of the apples for the townsfolk, it could also recall the color of the dragon or its fiery breath. With that said, I really like how Crimson Creek rolls off the tongue. Lastly, Applefort is also simple and evocative and many places where named as such.

That is tricky! In this case, I think the fort/castle is probably too small and the apple trees too big. I think it's really all about the relationship between stuff. So in the planning phase, figuring out how big trees are or any other sort of natural element can help you determine how big the buildings should be in relation.
