The map has been delivered. In the end I did a lot of modification using a paint program (Picture Publisher), which was also required to change the colour shading. The final map is to be published in a scientific journal, so monochrome hatch patterns were required.
Rather than plotting a county-level shaded map, I had to use the Territories because we had about a dozen classifications to plot. This actually produced a map that was more pleasing to the client (effectively highlighting the counties with non-zero data), so we kept it even when we switched what we were plotting to something that required five classifications.
The maps plotted the distribution of a genus of orchid across Texas.
I may add it as an example to my website at a later date - especially if we go-ahead with the current idea of plotting Dallas County occurrences with a pushpin map.
