Hi, While I definitely think your concept should work for TA305, and your mapping shows promise (especially the highway interchanges near Port Parferie look cool!); I'd love to see a little more detail in your mapping - and some natural mapping, like forests, farms and rivers also. Not everything in the world is made of highways after all. If you want, I can signal for you to be assigned a beginner territory (see here: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=7/14.041/-111.390&layers=B). Then, you can create a showcase for your mapping in this blank slate environment, which you can use to showcase your mapping (alongside what you're showing off now). Anything you create there can be moved to TA305 when you successfully reapply. Also, when you do, I recommend including a sketch of the territory and how you intend to design its layout; drawings make it easier to spot discontinuities, and it's easier to convey your vision this way, too.
