I am looking to add a custom field for address information and wanted to add a custom field type for the state field.

Yes you can add your custom field types, but that requires custom coding efforts. We have an example on Word Press' public repository at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/types/trunk/embedded/includes/examples/google_map.php which demonstrates how you can add a simple Google Maps field type.

I hope you can follow the example easily.

That's a great custom type! Where would I need to place that code (directory) to activate it?

You should place the code directly in your active theme's functions.php.

On the other hand, for the sake of 'clean code', you can:

1. Copy file to your theme's folder
2. Edit file functions.php and add following line at the end of the file:

include_once('google_map.php');

You can then, see under "Types -> Custom Fields -> Edit Group" screen. It should be added to "Available fields" as "Google Map".
