Using OpenLayers in React - reactjs

Question

I am student who is creating a big project trying to display data and information on maps using Openlayers and React. At this point I have created a basic two page project where the map is the central piece of the application. For every page I have one main Component that contains its Sidebar, the Viewer Component that contains the map itself and some additional Components specific for that page.
The viewer Class is a special Component that I wrote for every page. This Component handles all the user interactions with the page. It sends and receives information from the main Component as well. I have chosen to create a seperate Viewer Class for each page beceause of the diffrent ways each page works. They might load in different things or handle interactions completely different. If I had one Viewer Class that can be used by every page this would become to large and have to many if statements to check what code to run when handling with each separate page.
Here is an example of the Homepage Viewer. In the constructor I create the map and add some references for a popup window that shows up when the user clicks on one of the features on the map. This popup window shows some basic information about the feature and let's the user add it to his list of features.
In ComponentDidMount I first make the Map class add the
boundrieslayer and give an function to call when one of the feautres
of this layer has been clicked on. I also create the overlay window
for the popup to the map. This will be shown when a feature has been
clicked.
resetMapLayers is a function that has will be called on each Render.
Here I make the map check if what background Tilelayer to use and if
it should show the top layer or not.
featureSelected() is the function that handles a click event of a
feature of the top layer. This will create a popup with the basic
information of the feature.
closePopup will be called when the popup has been closed. This will
make the map deselct the clicked on feature. Otherwise it would stay
selected when the popup has been closed. It will also remove the
Overlay(popup) from the screen.
addFeature() is the function that will be called when a user chooses
to add this feature to his list of features. This can be done by the
user in the popup window of that feature
.

};
export default connect(mapStateToProps)(MainViewer);
The Map class contains the actual map. It handles with all the specific map issues. It allows to add layers to the map, creating the initial map, adding map interactions,...
In the constructor I call the methods to initaly create a basic map
with a TileLayer background.
The createMap and createNewMap methods let's me create the map object
itself.
createBackgroundLayerGroups() creates the Tilelayer that is the
background layer. It can be either OSM or Bing Maps. The visibility
property let's me make handle which one to show.
clearAllBoundriesLayers() deletes all the boundries layers that are
able to be put on top of the Tilelayer. It deletes every layer and
clears the select of the interactions that has been added to these
layers. I do this so when I change page the layers will be deleted.
addBoundriesLayer let's me set and add a boundries layer. This is the
Vector layer that will be put on top of the TileLayer.
addUsersPlotBoundriesLayer does the same as "addBoundriesLayer" but does it for all the layers that the user has. This function will be called in another page that only shows the features of the user.
setExtentOfMapByUserFeaters let's me set the extent of the map by
either a given extent or by the features of the user.
setInteractionForPlotBoundriesLayer adds the interaction for the
PlotBoundriesLayer.
setHoverInteractionForUserPlotBoundries adds the hover interaction
for the plotUserBoundriesLayer.
clearSelect clears all the selected features. So they won't be
highlighted no more.
setBackgroundTileLayer let's me show a specific background TileLayer.
togglePlotBoundriesLayers let's me hide or show the Vector layer that
is then been shown.

At this point I am wondering if I am doing things well or what can be done different or better to optimize my code. This will help me in the long run not getting stuck with bade code I created at the beginning of the project.
Many thanks in advance!
