If you tried to import the Bmp, max doesn't do it. But I think I may be able to help you. Taking your bmp, in phoyshop completely convert the entire thing to black/white. Then completely color indiana in black and color the outside border (ohio, Michigan, Illinois) in white. In max you'll have two options. Go into the material editor and select maps and then select bumb. Import that map of indiana and then assign it to a box. Jack the settings up however you need to. You could also do this with a displace map or even a displace modifier but I'm so sure about the results.

If Indiana becomes indented inwrd then just swith the colors from white to black n your bmp. Hope that helped.
