He asked:
>> how should i create the link to county on the state map.
My answer:
By hand.
You mean:
Get all the county border data in the US as lists of connected
lat/long pairs, put it in a db, find some algorithm that maps a
clicked coordinate of an image into a latitude/longitude pair, try to
find that position in the db and return the county name?
Probably someone has done this before, but it wasnt me.
