Here, we have an example of a mental map. This type of map represents the perceptions and knowledge a person has of an area. Information used for daily tasks (buildings, streets, paths) is what creates a mental map. No mental map is alike because each one shows what a person knows about the location and uniqueness of their environment. This particular example is a mental map that someone made of their neighborhood. It may not be an accurate map, but it is their own expression of what they know about the neighborhood and how they percieve it.
