A mental map is a map that is drawn from a persons memory. They show the unique perspective and perception the person has of a certain geographic location. Because of this no two mental maps can be identical; making them very specific to the person drawing it. The map I chose was made by a child of his or her neighborhood. All the streets are labeled and certain buildings are labeled as well. This might indicate which buildings and streets are important to the child.
