All,

We have some data for each county in a state. And we need to show the
data on county map with different colors/density etc. How to do this?
How to generate such maps?

All data are county level we won't need to go below it. We don't need
street/city data on the map.

Thanks,
Piyush

Assuming you have some kind of GIS software, you'll want your data
to be part of a GIS layer's attribute table. ESRI has a shapefile of
US counties. Each county has a unique FIPS code (5-digit numeric).
You could create a new table that contains, for each county, the FIPS
code and a field with the data you want to symbolize on.
In ArcView, you would then join your new table to the county attribute table
using the common FIPS field, and use your new data-field to
set the symbology of the county layer.

I hope that helps.

Robert
