data(state.area)
state.area is a named vector of the 1990 U.S. state land areas,
including the District of Columbia, in square miles.
The numbers are more accurate and up-to-date than the ones in
data(state).
The data was obtained from http://www.census.gov/population/censusdata/90den_stco.txt and edited into R format. County areas can also be obtained from the above link.
