pic 1) in the first picture you have used some of the same statics three or four times next to each other, as a mapper i appreciate theres not many statics but try and mix them up abit, especialy in places like where your map is set i dont the think you could get away with estates of similar lookng houses
pic 2) i dont know if that bank where the burnt out car is supposed to be man made or not, but if it isnt the 'smooth' tool on a low strength will make it look that much better.
all pics) i was wondering if those yellow circles are your capture radius of the control points or trigger areas, because if they are CP radiuses there a bit too big.
your map is looking bloody amazing for your first map and i hope you can appreciate that my points are just trying to help
edit - got bored so read through most of the posts, if you still want the concrete blocks they are in roads>statics
and if you still dont know how to put darker sand for roads (did you use Tpaint for texturing?)
in terrain editor click on texture (the brush) then go down to textures and click on color textures instead of detail, go across to the layers and tweak bar and change the color on there, can also change ground properties to make sure you get the right effects from shooting the ground - then just paint it on the ground.
or if you want to put real roads, in level editor go to roads, then right click where you want the road to start and click apply new spline (migh be
create new spline, cant remeber) this will be the anchor for your road so right click really close to that one in the way you want your road to go and click create control point (make sure you make a control point because if you click spline it will make a new road) the keep aplpying control points along where you want the road to go, they can be fairly spaced out. when youre done, on the left hand side of the screen click roads>road templates and keep looking through them for what you want ( 'dirt road' texture should suit your needs) once youve chosen the texture you want click 'connect' on the right hand side and give your road a name (something like 'airport') and your done! once youve laid all your roads like this you can click 'build all final roads to lay them down and get rid of flickering and such like.
