Mental Map

A mental map is a person's point of view about a specific subject. The map could be an individual's thoughts, a memory of a particular place, or a layout of directions, which can be laid out in a visual picture. I believe these types of maps are created to get across an idea or subject to another individual or a way to visualize an individual's thoughts. In the map above, a 6th grader visually drew out the streets surround the school he attends.
