Post 1: Mental Map

This is a mental map of Nottingham City Centre, in England, in the year 1997. A mental map, as you can see, is an image made of a location, and drawn straight from the mind of the artist/cartographer. The scale may not be exact, and distance is relative to the how the mapmaker views the area. Most times, the image may not be put down on paper, and if the mental map of two different people were to be examined, they would look very different from each other.
