Good morning Don, I cannot thank you enough for your support and the trouble you went to.
I am novice useR and the only analyst in the shop asked to learn R and the demands are growing faster than my knowledge intake, lots of laughs!

Best regards

WHP

I know this is not a complete solution -- and it's a very different approach -- but it should at least show you a way to reliably get states colored by region.
(I also left out Alaska and Hawaii, since the point here is how to color the regions)

require(sp)
require(rgdal)

## US Census Bureau Tiger file -- polygons of each US State
## try this URL for download
## https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2017&layergroup=States+%28and+equivalent%29<https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2017&layergroup=States+%28and+equivalent%29>

## unzip to working directory ( '.' )
ustf <- readOGR('.', 'tl_2017_us_state', stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

## note, the Tiger file includes 6 additional territories
dim(ustf)
## [1] 56 14

## get rid of the extra six territories (state.name<http://state.name> comes with R)
cus <- subset(ustf, NAME %in% state.name<http://state.name>)

## cheap rename
cus$state <- cus$NAME
cus$abb <- cus$STUSPS

## invent ridiculous groupings of states
cus$grp <- 'a'
cus$grp[11:20] <- 'b'
cus$grp[21:30] <- 'c'
cus$grp[31:40] <- 'd'
cus$grp[41:50] <- 'e'

## assign colors to the groups
cus$color <- 'red'
cus$color[cus$grp=='b'] <- 'green'
cus$color[cus$grp=='c'] <- 'blue'
cus$color[cus$grp=='d'] <- 'brown'
cus$color[cus$grp=='e'] <- 'cyan'

## exclude Alaska, Hawaii
cus <- subset(cus, !(state %in% c('Alaska','Hawaii')))

## get rid of extraneous variables (optional)
cus <- cus[ , c('state','REGION','abb', 'grp') ]

## plot colored by regions as defined in the Census Bureau Tiger file
plot(cus, col=cus$REGION, usePolypath=FALSE)

## color "1" is black, looks bad, do this instead
plot(cus, col=as.numeric(cus$REGION)+1, usePolypath=FALSE)
text(coordinates(cus), cus$abb, col='white', cex=0.75)

## colors specified by a color variable in the data
plot(cus, col=cus$color, usePolypath=FALSE)
text(coordinates(cus), cus$abb, col='white', cex=0.75)

(my preferred graphics device does not support Polypath, but probably most others do, so one can omit usePolypath=FALSE)

Hi,

I hope someone can help me finalize this please.

I am coming close to what I need using variations from two ggplot2 tutorials.

This first gives me the map of the US with AK & HI but I cannot figure out how to get my 5 regions colored

This second is an alternative (however not liking AK&HI, not coming into the map like scenario one above) but also ignoring new Mexico (because recognizing a seventh field value) and I suspect it will do the same for new York and new jersey etc.. when I add them to the list.

Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : line 12 did not have 6 elements

When I use newmexico (all one word) it appears white in the map like the other states not in the table statement
