None of these is part of the maps package.  Sorry.

The good news is that maps is a *source* package, so if you need new functionality, you 
are quite at liberty to add it yourself.

Further, there are other mapping (and more general 'spatial') packages available, that may 
provide such functionality.  See the CRAN spatial taskview at:
