When you say: "There are as many/much X as Y" your sentence will look like this: "Annyi X van, amennyi/ahány Y"
So at the first part you always use "annyi" and at the second you use "amennyi" or "ahány" according to the noun(s) you are talking about.
Basically "amennyi" = "as much" ; "ahány" = as many"
So following this logic: "On the map there are AS MANY rivers as mountains." = "A térképen annyi folyó van, AHÁNY hegy." ( Note that the first part always takes "annyi")
Anyway the "amennyi" or "ahány" problem is basically the same as the "mennyi?" or "hány?" problem. "Mennyi?" = "How much?" ; "Hány?" = "How many?"
