Maps, Coordinate Reference Systems and Visualising Geographic Data with mapmisc
Patrick E. Brown , The R Journal (2016) 8:1, pages 64-91.

Abstract The mapmisc package provides functions for visualising geospatial data, including fetching background map layers, producing colour scales and legends, and adding scale bars and orientation arrows to plots. Background maps are returned in the coordinate reference system of the dataset supplied, and inset maps and direction arrows reflect the map projection being plotted. This is a “light weight” package having an emphasis on simplicity and ease of use.
