Hi Randy, Something that you *may* try - and this would mean starting over plus adding a good bit of work, but I would scale the map and counters up so that the counters are 65x65px in width (which I think is a good size personally) meaning that the map would need to be about 4000px in width.
I made a sample. First, I took the map, converted it to CMYK colors and then scaled it up to 4000px in width. I then ran an unsharp mask over it. I scaled your 1Don counter using the same process to 65x65. This makes the counter much more legible IMHO. See this sample: http://www.garykrockover.com/uplaods/reds-sample.jpg Again, a good bit of work but I think that you would be happy with the outcome.
