Pathfinder Flip-Mat: "River Crossing" [RPG]

I got to experience a battle firsthand on River Crossing during a Pathfinder Society scenario last week.  I learned that giant crocodiles are no match for alchemist bombs, but dwarves and nagajis need to watch out for spiked pit traps!  Anyway, this flip-mat has two sides.  One side is a straight river crossed by a wooden bridge, with trees on either side of the path leading to and from the bridge.  It's a solid design, and surely useful in a wide variety of contexts.  The other side depicts a bend in the river with some boulders and a potential (but hazardous) place to ford in the center.  Again, pretty useful.  My only suggestion is that it would have been nice if one side hadn't been set in a traditional forest--a jungle river, a partially frozen river, or a river in the mountains would have added to the flip-mat's versatility.
