Topography in WinSPMBT maps

What are those small black circles that look like acorns?

This would be an 80x100 hex map then?

It depends on the size of the GRID that you will define on the map editor.
I personally define a 1,000 meters x 1,000 meters GRID as 20 hexes (horizontal) x 25 hexes (vertical).

******the 25 hexes vertical is explained by the fact that the vertical hexes are not each on top of the other but slightly in the top-side of each other and they lose almost 25% of their vertical length.*****

If you try to design the full grid area of the map, you will get a dimension of 3 horizontal x 4 vertical = 12 square Km.

In my SP map grid ratio this gives 3 x 20 hexes (horizontal) and 4 x 25 hexes (vertical).
The above will give you a 60 x 100 hexes map (if you include the part grids you will have 80x125).
