The level of detail you will see terrain at at far distances is partially dependent on your Graphics Quality Level, which you can set in the settings menu.

This results in significant video memory reduction as well as significant performance improvement for both CPU and GPU on all quality levels (the bigger the terrain or quality level, the more significant is the difference).

If you’re looking for ways to make this effect less noticeable on your maps, it helps to place foliage objects throughout your map that either break line-of-sight to empty areas, or that make these areas look more interesting. You can post some screenshots of your terrain if you want help with that.
