Maya sculpt tool: sculpting a landscape

Defining shapes, against a referenced image plane....
Using a polygon primitive plane, and component mode, soft selection 'B' button, to create peaks and troughs....

Soft select the plane edges; and scale down on the Y axis, to make sure the edges are flat. (this is good practice, if you need to duplicate the mesh to create additional landscape.
Triangulate mesh. Select Y axis + CTRL to lock onto Y axis, adjust the soft selection brush size [B button] and move (whilst Y axis is locked) to create ridges

Duplicate the mesh and sculpt additional landscape, to suit the camera set up
