Mental Maps


A Mental Map is a map drawn of someone's memory of an area. Most people can identify with mental maps because we have they have probably drawn one. They are often on party invitations or on a sheet of paper when giving someone directions. Multiple mental maps of the same location drawn by different people will usually look different becasue everyone has a different view or memory of what something looks like. This map is a drawn map of what looks like a town where the cartographer grew up or lived at one point. He includes roads, landmarks, points of intrest, and descriptions of each location.
