 'Usemap' is something that is sorely lacking. Gutenberg complains / erases
 the html img usemap attribute. It should take the developer about one
 minute of cut-and-paste to add this feature. You don't need to worry about
 how it is used, just stop erasing it!

 This is so easy and so sorely lacking that it should be given top priority
 and be in the next maintenance release.

 FYI: I create the image maps in GIMP and paste them into html blocks. That
 works great except that at present I also have to put the figure code in
 the html block as well or Guty complains about it. That is literally an
 ugly solution. The resulting maps are not responsive, but I don't care,
 they are not critical. A month after you add this feature, the plugin
 kiddies will have a dozen responsive image map plugins written for it.

 At the same time, you could also add user-defined image id attributes.
