I had many issues trying to get a good old-fashioned HTML image map to work in a WordPress page or post. It seemed that WordPress kept trying to add extra <map> tags around all my <area> tags. I couldn’t get it to stop!
After being led astray by such issues as wpautop() and the need to use various plugins, I finally figured out how to embed HTML image maps on my pages.

<area shape="circle" coords="419,161,11" href="http://www.test.com/locations/richmond/" />
</map>
<map name="Locations"><area shape="circle" coords="439,227,12" href="http://www.test.com/locations/london/" /><area shape="circle" coords="542,174,11" href="http://www.test.com/locations/pikeville/" /><area shape="circle" coords="419,161,11" href="http://www.test.com/locations/richmond/" /></map>
