What is being described is known as a choropleth map.
Some of the suggestions may be a bit high-powered for such a
(relatively) simple task. CDC's EPI-info package has a mapping
programme (Epimap) which is freeware for most users.
Even so, some competitor software packages do come equipped with a few
standard maps (like for US states) and I imagine it would be possible
to do this with stata's graphics engine ...?!
