Hi Michael:  

I am not totally certain what you are trying to do, but Hadley Wickham
and a student have been working on a package that allows a variety of
plots to be added to maps.  Examples can be found in this paper in
Environmetrics :

Glyph-maps for visually exploring temporal patterns in climate data 
and models(pages 382-393) Hadley Wickham, Heike Hofmann, Charlotte 
Wickham and Dianne Cook Article first published online: 5 JUL 2012 | 
DOI: 10.1002/env.2152

I believe an earlier version is available at Wickham's web page.  When I

All code and data for that article is available at 
https://github.com/ggobi/paper-climate.

My student Garrett has also been working on a generalisation of the 
glyph map ideas.  His R package is at 
https://github.com/garrettgman/ggplyr and I've attached the 
corresponding paper (in submission to JCGS). I mention it mainly 
because the code might be in a form that's easier to reuse for your 
purposes.

HTH,

-Roy

Thanks very much Peter,
That may be a good start. Though I am aiming for automation and would 
prefer to avoid the locator function.
I'll take a look...

I would investigate the subplot() function in Greg Snow's 
TeachingDemos package, possibly in conjunction with his
updateusr() function.

For interactive placement of figures, it should be possible to use
locator() to place each plot.
