Hi, There a package called RArcInfo (which I've written) which can import data maps in ESRI E00 files and Arc/Info V 7.x binary coverages. Besides, it provides several functions to plot maps. One of them allows polygons to be filled with different colors.
Please, visit http://matheron.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/RArcInfo and take a look at the draft tutorial and to the screenshots. By the way, I think you can get all the US states maps for free in E00 format from the web of the Census (www.census.gov). Hope this helps. Regards, -- Virgilio G�mez Rubio Dpto. Estad�stica e I.
