Mental Map

The mental map which is displayed above is a map of substrate of Lough Neagh that was created by what a fisherman perceived. Mental maps are a highly abstract representation of any real world location, simply meaning it is the way in which a place or an area looks to one person or another. This particular map is depicting the Lough Neagh which is a freshwater lake that is located in Northern Ireland. The map shows particular landmarks located on the lake, as well as various depth contours which can be found throughout the lake. The main trend and interest of this map lies directly on fishing, and the best areas in which to fish. On the map there are numerous depth contours which will assist any fisherman when he or she is out fishing.
