You can use .replaceWith()

$(function() {

  $(".region").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var content = $(this).html();
    $('#map').replaceWith('<div class="region">' + content + '</div>');
  });

});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="map">
  <div class="region"><a href="link1">region1</a></div>
  <div class="region"><a href="link2">region2</a></div>
  <div class="region"><a href="link3">region3</a></div>
</div>
