Yes you can do this, but you need to use a programming language which
would convert the latitude and longitude co-ordinates into pixel
co-ordinates (which would marry up with your map of the USA). The
co-ordinates would need to be stored in a database (in either format)
and then when the page is requested, the database interrogated and
details incorporated in the served page.
You could write this in various languages, but probably perl or php are
the easiest - it all depends on your experience.
If you search on google, you can probably find a routine for converting
latitude and longitude to pixel co-ordinates in whatever programming
language you wish to use.
If you cannot handle programming yourself, you would need to pay
someone to do this, as it is not as straightforward as I think you were
hoping.
