The southern part with the water now looks way better, but I really liked the layout and details you had -- I didn't mean to suggest you should take those out, just expand the map to have more walking space like where I circled.
I think stylistically you captured gen 2 almost perfectly in the original, as they love using the little trees around the border (the fences are also good to add detail), and the maps there do tend to be pretty cramped, however only rarely use 1 tile pathways (eg if there is a fence in front of a building/mazes). In short, if you just change those to 2x2 it will be great.
Right now with the empty space it's more in the gen 1 style. If you're going for that you need even more space, though.
Also the islands can be in the city if you want but they need to be simpler and squarer. They might be better off on a route where you have more room.
