Hi Scott:

Are you in Windows or a Linux type computer, please?

Ok, now I know about the existence of EPSG codes, but apparently my rgdal installation can't find the list of them?  Do I need to find a certain file in my system's PROJ4 installation, then tell that to rgdal?

> library(maps)
> library(rgdal)
> pnw <- map('state', region = c('washington', 'oregon', 'idaho'), 
> plot=F) epsg <- make_EPSG()
Error in make_EPSG() : Error opening epsg file
> pnw.spc <- spTransform(pnw, CRS=CRS("+init=epsg:102749"))
Error in spTransform(pnw, CRS = CRS("+init=epsg:102749")) :
  error in evaluating the argument 'CRSobj' in selecting a method for function 'spTransform': Error in CRS("+init=epsg:102749") : no system list, errno: 13
