Mental Map

This picture above is a Mental Map of the World with the major continents being drawn and displayed.  A mental map can be defined as a map that represents an individual's perceptions and knowledge of a particular place or area.  The map above qualifies as a mental map because it was created from a specific person's memory of the World and the major continents.  With the best of their knowledge, this person drew fairly accurate representations of the locations, sizes, and names of the many different continents.
