Photoshop CC 2015: Where is Image Map?

Hi. I want to do an image map and I have Photoshop CC 2015. I searched Help and it said to go to View and choose Toolbars/Graphics Toolbars. But when I go to the View menu, there is no Toolbars item. It's not on the Windows menu either. How can I create an image map? Please advise. Thank you.

    I have only played with Photoshop 3D stuff made and used some bump maps and transparency maps but I have never read anything about an Image Map.  I use Alpha Channels to map images size, location and shapes in my collages templates.  I have no idea of what you mean by Image Map. I know the is nothing like that in Photoshop menu view... sorry.

    Do you mean to slice up an image for HTML?

    If so use the slice tool - you will find it on the tool bar as one of the options if you click and hold down the crop tool

    Once sliced right click on the little square at the corner of each slice and choose Edit Slice Options. You can rename the slice and enter URL there.

    When finished you can use Save for Web - and in the options after pressing save, set the save format to HTML and images

    Yes, that's it. Here is the image, FYI. There are 40 photos of artists, and I need to link each photo to the artist's website. I'll do the Slice Tool technique as you suggest. Thank you so much for your help. -- Clare

    Good to hear you know what you must do now.  Slice the image into many images with the slice tool.  Use Save for web, That will save all the image files requites and the HTML code to display all the images in a HTML table that displays them as a composite to look like your original single image.

    What Help article?   I have read about normalize image maps and other 3d things but I do not actually do Photoshop 3d stuff.  Are you sure the help you read was referring to Photoshop View menu?

    I'm glad you pointed this out. I clicked on Photoshop Help and "Create an Image Map" came up and I clicked on it. This is what I got: Create an image map

    I didn't look closely at the link's text until now, and I just discovered it was about creating an image map in Framemaker, not Photoshop.

    So I went back into Help and searched for "Image map in Photoshop." A whole bunch of stuff is coming up but none of it is what I need. Do you know what I should do? Please advise. Thanks.
