First the easy one, I've seen provinces with Roads and Rivers.  Since the
river report doesn't actually say which direction it flows in, I can't say
that they did or did not run in the same direction.  But i expect you will
find a province with a road who's direciton coincides with the preceived
river's direction, so you shouls allow for it.

As for the other thing, well how's this for a list of features:
-	tracks forces (legions, locations, lairs, ruins, fleets) keeping
	track of when the force was sighted and the basic sighting info
	for that sighting (number men, populaiton, masked, etc.)
	Also keeps historical sighting rpeorts.
-	easy map editing
-	tracks resource info for all provinces, and allows searching for
	provinces with a resource either as alist of all provinces or
	closest to a selected point.
- 	link character, force and position reports to allow easy "jumps" from
	one type of report to another.

That should keep you going for  a week or two <g>.
