A mental map is a mental representation of one's perception on a specific area. It is a map that can easily be conveyed with a piece of paper, a pencil and what one remembers in his or her head. Since everyone has a different perception of their surroundings, not one map is like another, even if they portray the same location. Different people use different points as landmarks, and will portray different specific points on the map due to their own perception. This allows for there to be no boundaries on what one sees, remembers, and portrays on the page. So as seen above, this appears to be some representation of one's neighborhood or small town. Mental maps are usually kept within one's own mind, but as seen above, they can be drawn on paper, and physically displayed.
