How do I plot points on a map in with the mapping tool?

I have the mapping toolbox function. I brought up a map of the U.S. with lat/lon axes. All I need to do now I plot points on the map where certain cities/areas are. It does not need to be exact (but preferred), so any type of brush or something would work. How do I do this?
Here is what I have so far:
figure; ax = usamap({'CA','ME'});
set(ax, 'Visible', 'off')
latlim = getm(ax, 'MapLatLimit');
lonlim = getm(ax, 'MapLonLimit');
states = shaperead('usastatehi',... 'UseGeoCoords', true, 'BoundingBox', [lonlim', latlim']);
geoshow(ax, states, 'FaceColor', [0.5 0.5 1])
lat = [states.LabelLat];
lon = [states.LabelLon];
tf = ingeoquad(lat, lon, latlim, lonlim);
textm(lat(tf), lon(tf)) ...
