Creativity: One man’s mental #map of the world via @AndrewShears #geography #cartography
“The image above displays a mental map of the world, as drawn by Dr. Andrew Shears. In his book, A Primer of GIS: Fundamental Geographic and Cartographic Concepts, Dr. Francis Harvey defines mental maps as, “communicating what an individual knows and can draw about some aspect and part of the world. A mental map represents particular geographic relationships based on the experience of an individual.” (Harvey, 14) “

“This is an interesting map for many reasons, but the illustrations really stand out to me. On the top right you can see an illustration of a typical “North American,” and on the bottom right you can see a typical “South American.”
Digital Cartography is becoming more and more realistic everyday. I wonder what is in store for Geographers in 10 years since this is such a fast growing field!
