Answering my own question because the answer came from a suggestion in the comments. Using a javascript executor was the answer. Something like:

WebElement banner = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("map"));
WebElement area = banner.findElement(By.id("reports"));

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", area);
