Sorry, I was talking nonsense.
The actual problem was in your panel function, where you extract the
state boundaries, and then draw them using panel.polygon: the order of
states from map() is arbitrary, and does not correspond to the color
palette that you set up.
I suggest using mapplot(). This matches the region names you provide
to the names from the map. However (as in your original case) you do
need to ensure that they match exactly, including case and sub-region
names...
i.e. you need to match up
NatSTSummaryHigh.abi$JurisdtnStateName with
map("state", regions=NatSTSummaryHigh.abi$JurisdtnStateName)$names
(exactly).
nclr <- 4
plotclr <- brewer.pal(nclr,"PuRd")
class <- classIntervals(NatSTSummaryHigh.abi$STMean, nclr, style="fisher" )
mapplot(tolower(JurisdtnStateName) ~ STMean, data = NatSTSummaryHigh.abi,
map = us.map, breaks = class$brks, colramp = colorRampPalette(plotclr))

I have not use mapplot before is that a better option if so then will you pass along the syntax I would use. As far as using the current logic, I tried adding your suggesting to the groups variable and I get the same result. I also have a field within my data called BdgtGrp, which I placed in the groups option, but the state colors don’t match the levels I have in the legend. Idealy, I would like those states that I have identified with BdgtGrp=="Significanlty high" be in "red", purple for those identified as "Mid-High" and light blue for those identified as "High". If not by these flags then I would want the colors be for the ranges specified within the class level.

The following code properly selects the correct states, and the legend is properly color coded with ranges, but the colors per range does not match the state colors. I need help getting the state colors to match the ranges outlined in the legend. I have tried ordering the mean amounts and this correctly creates the vector of colors in the correct order, but when applied to the map the colors don't match. Attached is the R dataset of my data. Please help me tweak the map so the colors are properly assigned.
