David:
That doesn't quite answer the question about Alaska and Hawaii.
Agreed. I misinterpreted the text of help(map) example to mean that HI
and AK boundaries could be found in "unemp". However, it was also
advice to Jeffrey that searching might suggest solutions.
I found several citations on Baron's search site, including this one:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/44481.html
This is what that example lead me try (after a bit of digging for
the right names to use for Alaska_:
grep( "USA:Alas", map("world", plot=FALSE)$names, value=TRUE)
quartz(); # or whatever is appropriate in your OS to open a new
screen device
map("state", xlim=c(-170,-60), ylim=c(15,85))
map("world", "Hawaii", add=TRUE)
map("world", "USA:Alaska", add=TRUE)

Jeffrey:
help(state, maps)
states "This database produces a map of the states of the United
States mainland ..."
so you have to use:
map("world", "USA")
map("state", add=T)
to get the whole lot (which I am willing to bet is not exactly what
is wanted, even though
it is what was stated).
This is not the end of the story, but if you'll state exactly what
you want for Alaska and
Hawaii, then perhaps we can supply a solution.

I have a text file with states and numbers. I would like to display
each number that corresponds to a state on a map.
I am trying to use the maps package, but it doesn't show Alaska or
Hawaii. Do you have suggestions on how to do this?
This question suggests you are not yet aware of the search facility
built into R:
RSiteSearch("maps Hawaii Alaska" )
A search query has been submitted to http://search.r-project.org
The results page should open in your browser shortly
The third hit was back to the "map" function help page. (The examples
should be read and executed.)
