Hi John,
The SIDS examples in the spatial graphics gallery may be helpful:
http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/gallery/
For a general reference, see Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R.
Note that the book's webpage includes figures with code
http://www.asdar-book.org/
There's also the spatial Task View
http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html
and an active spatial mailing list
