Where can I find a map of the 50 US states that I can use to create an
image map? I need to modify the individual states using Photoshop
elements.  Then I need to create an html map of the US with rollover
effects that change the color of the state as it is rolled over.

I would prefer a free solution.  If not free, less than $50 would suffice.

Are you looking for something like this? Except with rollovers:

Very simple to do, all you have to do is create image maps in Adobe
Imageready, create slices, save for web and it does all the work for
you.  I'm sure you could find a map of the 50 US States, whether it be
by a google search or scanning from a book.

If you have trouble with the rollovers and exporting in ImageReady
(after using the Photoshop Elements), there is an abundance of
tutorials.

bigger clear map of 50 states , 

with this u can modify it as u want in photoshop 

write names  of states and color it and finish with rollovers or imagemap 
as u wish

I just did a project like this myself for a site called apartment catch.

You can see the map on that main page, it is all 100% vector and can
be edited in illustrator (you won't be able to edit it one by one in
photoshop) - because it is vector you can size it to any size with out
quality loss.  All states are seperate shapes, and combined to make
the USA

If you want the source file I could sell it for $40 USD. It took a
long time for me to make, that is why I am asking the fee. (4 hours X
$10 an hour)

Let me know,
Mike
