This map is a prime example of a mental map. Mental maps are created based on the day-to-day experiences or percieved reality of the person(s) who created the map. They are used to communicate particular geographic relationships based on the experience of an individual or group of persons. The above mental map attempts to show a mental translation of the authors percieved perception of the world. The map and/or process of mental mapping can show that the idea that mental maps are not 100% acurate to the real world.
