How do you handle features like coastlines and roads that are supposed to span multiple tiles?

I’m just starting to test my rule set, and I’ve run into a problem I can’t quite solve. I’d like to have a card that generates coastlines, but because the draw is random, it can place a coastline on what should realistically be a completely inland tile, or create an ocean that suddenly appears in the middle of a continent.

I understand that randomness is part of the process, but I’m aiming for a map that feels believable rather than abstract. How do you keep large, continuous features like oceans, coastlines, rivers, and roads coherent across multiple tiles while still allowing for randomness?
