Those hills in the back look a little too rounded and pillowy, in my opinion. A more gradual, rolling hill might be a better effect.
Also, the blue tube thing for gravel (It's late and I don't remember the name of it), is really low to the ground for it's purpose. Those things are used to dump stuff into the back of dump trucks, not act as a gutter.
You have a great oppurtunity to play with lighting a bit, might want to look into a bit more!
my 2cents.
Beyond all that, love the theme you've put together, the green accents in some places are really nice.
I think the environment lighting is pretty good, it's a pleasant dusk feel like a cool summer evening.
Just need to paint the play area with spotlights to hilight the important stuff, like around sunset when all the streetlights turn on. I don't think I've seen a tf2 map do that yet.

Maple Ridge: I actually like the loamy-round cliffs.

The biggest problem is that they're cliffs of a variety that doesn't lend itself to that kind of erosion like the ones in this picture do. I dunno man, maybe make them softer at the bottom and sharper at the top?

Meh...it's not as bad though. The idea I was going for was that if you stood up there, you could be seen by everyone. And all it really takes is a single grenade or a rocket to get up there. Easy peazy.

Soldiers and demomen, yes. scouts, maybe. the other 6 classes? Measure the time it takes for a heavy to get to the top of that spire from the terrain below and compare that to the time it takes for the heavy to reach the point from spawn. The former should be lower than the later for obvious reasons.
How many of those roofs will be accessible?

Next to none. Only roof accessible will be the roof that's touching the ramp up to it.
And I don't plan on changing it for the sake of a few classes. It's a high ground for a reason, and I'm keeping it that way. If there's anything I've learned while being on this site, it's that I gotta learn to take the damage dealt at me in critical eyes.
Ok, because its possible i tried to make a map with TRLE once again (yes, the tomb raider 4 level editor - except with an 'updated' tool - the looks are still the same as the original one).
Now i need to learn to make some simple models for switches and puzzle items, texturing and not to mess up my map by making players able to get stuck... Those horrors i created like 10 years ago...

Been messing around with the lighting on Maple Ridge:
Uuuuuugh...sorry, need to go change my pants.
