Simple video on exporting out your heightmap from World Creator and bringing it into Maya using Redshift. The height is sometimes tricky to match from the one package to the other.
I’ve talked about SLib browser as means in maya to have an organized asset library. Another great feature is ability to import HDR images with sky domes based on your renderer of choice.
There is a growing arena of places where you can download excellent assets to add to your 3d Library. There’s the usual places like Megascans or Textures.com. Kitbash3d has been adding to their ever impressive city/building library. Another place I recently found is Terrain Domain that is for landscape assets.

A quick way to pre-visualize terrains: terrain.party
It’s a great website that allows you to download height fields of anywhere in the world. I brought these into Maya on a simple plane and added a texture deformer to visualize the terrain.
