im not familiar with the map making process here, but i am pretty knowledgeable about photoshop.
Lets say you have a 500 x 500 px map. what would happen if you took the river layer and made it 1 px wide on a 1000 x 1000 px map and then scaled it back to 500 x 500 px, thereby basically giving it a half pixel dimensional width. The other option here could be to do the above mentioned, and then lay it on a 50% opacity 500 x 500 px river map created on a 500 x 500 map (so its a true pixel wide), then merge the 2 layers together
i guess one other option would be to take that river layer and make it 2 pixels wide at 2000 x 2000 and then blur it. you'd probably get better control that way.
just thinking out loud. my apologies if the above mentioned has been discussed before.
