This figure comes from this wiki page.

enter image description here

I googled "gene location figure" and "gene location plot", none gets similar results. I also tried search by image, none of the results is close.

so, what is the name of this type of figure?

This kind of visualization showing the banding patterns of chromosomes are called "chromosome ideograms".

You can use for example IdeoViz in R to generate them.
