So if you make a token that is 70 pixels by 70 pixels, it will fit one unit without resizing. So make your tokens the correct size by pixels according to your page scale.

When moving or creating tokens, if the grid is on they will snap to the grid and will tend to resize to fit inside one or more units. To avoid this behavior, hold down Alt when doing things with the token, or turn off the grid to turn off snap-to-grid.
But that only works with tokens, not maps. Even if you make the hexes of the map the same size as a Roll20 hex, you have to resize it for reasons that completely elude me.
