This specific map is an example of a "Mental Map". Everybody creates their own Mental Maps in their minds using their memory and imaginations. A Mental Map can be considered how peoeple view their own world in which they live. People also create their Mental Maps when remembering how to get places, remembering what different places look like, and to remember what they were surrounded by when at a designated area. Making Mental Maps using your imagination is natural and most people do it without even realizing it!
