Sometimes I print parts that have a top surface that look like a riverbed. There are valleys and branches going all across the surface of the part. This is usually a result of the nozzle being too close to the bed. Mechanically, there is too much filament coming out of the nozzle for the amount of space between the bed and the nozzle. When this happens the filament flows into other areas of the print and creates these valleys.

In short, your nozzle is too close to the bed if you have this. Adjust the height or redo your bed level.
