Look into including US territories in map about usmap HOT 5 OPEN

I'd really appreciate this! I believe Puerto Rico has > 3,000,000 residents, whereas the other territories have less than 200,000. All would be great! But maybe just start with PR and add it inside the Gulf of Mexico?

I've looked at your code a bit and might try to revise it to include PR.

The basic requirements seem to be:

1. Revise Transform.R:
   A. duplicate the Hawaii (or Alaska) functions with updated coord values for PR.
   B. update # combine all point to merge in the new PR.

2. Add "PR,72,PUERTO RICO" to states-fips.R

3. Add outline of PR in create-map-df.R

4. Run make-all.R to update data for PR outline

Is that the basics? If so, I might give it a try later today.

@dcaud That's correct, I think you got it. Feel free to open a PR and we can work through it to make sure everything is included. Thanks!

I opened a PR and made some changes. I guess we can continue the conversation over there!
