Now, I know the first you're going to say when you see this...
"It's way too similar to Wraithlike's htf_anaemic/htf_morass
I've had the idea for quite some time, just haven't had the time to make it unitl now.
If it's too similar to Wraithlike's, what can I do to make it unique?
If the map name is taken, please suggest another one  :)

Nice. :) I think the colors you used for shading are kind of monotone (the same colors throughout the entire map; I could possibly even guess at the small 4- or 5-color palette used). The scenery-gfx rock; the fog effect at the bottom and the trees fit very nicely, and even the moon goes well with the level.

For the layout, the only thing I have to complain about is that there are a bunch of boulders floating over a passage which stretches almost flat except for a few bumps here & there for the entire bottom of the map. It would be great if the bottom section rose in the middle and annexed that bottom-central rock as part of the lower terrain.

If you would use more variation for vertex colors, and possibly give the hill in the bottom-central of the map as I suggest, I would deem it good for release :) Nice job.

Yep, "Swamp" is most definitely taken.

Synonyms of "Swamp"

I don't think "Quag" or "Swale" has been used.

This looks interesting.
I'm not too sure about how the greyish water blends with the dark polygons below them though...
Also that moon scenery seems a bit too bright and misplaced... and you might want to add something hanging from the roof as well since it looks more like a giant doughnut hehe. j/k
And yes, please choose a different name for your map. ;)

Hey, that how I named Morass XD. I pretty much agree with keron, and I have no problem with it looking like morass.
