This one is hard because its using the farmland as Z, but your eyes kinda naturally look at the waterways instead

Which is why my first thought was, "L?" because the water looks like a natural boundary. Only after looking again did I see a Z.

I think tilting it slightly straighter would've helped. Here it is tilted just 10 degrees -

Though it's still kinda 7-y. That chunk of farmland at the end makes my mind want to discard the bottom part entirely. It's neither the same color nor expected shape.

Edit: now I notice the circle above it, making a lower case "i" possible. Such fantastic ambiguity.
