Here is a map of the U.S., made up of 50 individual states in separate meshes, labelled with state abbreviations. Each state is a fully editable mesh. Some state borders overlap, but can be customized with the vertices to your liking. Default color applied to distinguish the separate states, but again, the surfaces are customizable. This MAX file has been tested by myself in both 3DS Max 9 32 bit, and 3DS Max 4 16 bit, and open fine in both.
