I would define a function of x and y which evaluates to your fitted 
values, evaluate it on a grid, and then use persp.  You might already 
have code to do this, or you might have to write it something like this:

f <- function(x,y) {
    ifelse( 0 < x & x <= 29 & 0 < y & y <= 48, 87.67,
    ifelse( 0 < x & x <= 29 & y < 48 & y <= 62, 75,

}

etc.  I leave the difficult problem of properly closing all the 
parentheses to you!
