Oh, I see what you mean now.
Yes, search engines can and will follow links on image maps. Back in the day, I had 200 websites linked into an image map with tons of text under the image and all 200 of the sites were indexed in the search engines quickly. This, as I said, was many years ago and now it is not considered a good thing to do. But to answer your question, image map links will be followed and indexed by search engines.
