| Bit depth is irrelevant if you are re-tracing with Illustrator's pen or pencil tools, which is what I would do.
Scan. Place the scan on a Template layer (select Template in the Layers palette menu) and work or layers above the template layer. Keep like items on their own layers. So, one layer for major roads, one for minor roads or side roads, one for rivers and la
kes (or one for each) one for highway symbols, one for text, one for boundaries, etc.
Use Graphic Styles to format everything. This ensure consistency (all Interstate highways will look the same) and makes for easier alterations, since a change to the Graphic Style will propagate to the artwork, maintaining consistency and saving a lot of
work changing all those roads.
