Thanks for replying on this. I've replaced the broken link with another website (I can get to the original website via google images but not via plain url for some reason).

The topography of the site is pretty important for the development of the city. Would it be possible to have two colours merging into each other for high/low ground? The reservoirs also need to be put in and named, my paper map is much clearer than anything I can find on the web, I think you can probably see where they are but may not be able to find their names so:

Causeway Reservoir is the one immediately south of Complex O.
Temple Reservoir is between Temple III and the Central Acropolis.
Palace Reservoir lies between the Central Acropolis and Temple V.
Hidden Reservoir is east of the Palace Rservoir, NW of Group G, lying against the south side of Mendez Causeway.
Bejucal Reservoir would be at the extreme north of my map, about 500m west of Complex P.
Madeira Reservoir is a short way south of the Plaza of the Seven Temples.
Inscriptions Reservoir is a little to the west of the Temple of the Inscriptions.

A few important locations aren't labelled - the large black block lying between the Plaza of the Seven Temples and Temple V is the South Acropolis. The Ballcourt is poorly represented on my effort - the two small blocks lying between Temple I and the Central Acropolis are the ballcourt, which is unlabelled. The blocks look uneven on my map but should be identically sized, parralel and with the ends aligned with each other. It needs to be labelled, perhaps by a number referring to a legend since the central area there is pretty crowded.

There's a bunch of largish architecture west of the North Acropolis that isn't on my map at all and could do with being filled in... and any other detail you think is appropriate, obviously not every tiny building on the map, but any moderate to large size architecture that I haven't marked.

My scale was quickly done and judged by eye, so might be a little inaccurate (though not vastly so). It could certainly be improved from the bare line I have drawn so distances smaller than 500m can be judged.

Other than that, anything you think can be done to improve it - (and .svg would certainly be better than .jpg is you can do it but no worries if you can't - I don't have the software to do it myself). Thanks for looking at this, any improvements will be most welcome. If there is any text you can't make out on the online maps, just ask.
