Mental Map















This is a Mental Map of the Nottingham City Centre in 1997. Mental maps deal with peoples points of views and are often referred to as visual displays.  They show what's going on inside someone's head and offer insight to how one person views something specific regarding size, direction etc.It shows the uniqueness of a given place, according to a person and no map can be like another as everybody sees things at least a little differently.  These maps draw heavily on the opinion of the cartographer. We all make mental maps.
