As well as things that look important on the map, it might also be
worth checking if you have the opportunity to map something that later
mappers will find difficult
To use the river/streams example from above, I'd say that if you have
the chance to _accurately_ trace a waterway, it might be worth doing
before most of the things. Other people who come along later will be
able to get the roads, but they may not have a boat to go down the
river on.
