Take your text tool and type your terrs name. Make sure that layer is selected in the layer window. After that go to layer>layer style. That should give you all the glows and what not you need :)

Once youve done this right click the layer and youll see you can copy the layer style. Select all the terr names and paste the layer style for quick work ;)
What do you know about map making, bitch?
