mapping lat and long with maps package

The example on the help page would seem to be completely on point if I  
understand your desire to be plotting text at particular long,lat  
coordinates:

?map

text(long, lat, "text")

#
data(ozone)
map("state", xlim = range(ozone$x), ylim = range(ozone$y))
text(ozone$x, ozone$y, ozone$median)
box()
#
Well, you're the one who offered code without designating what
