Henry and I discussed various types of maps. We began by distinguishing the two most basic types of maps, political and physical. After highlighting the purpose of each as well as types of their variations, we discussed the early map-makers, known as Cartographers. Then, Henry and I analyzed the difficulties early conquistadors and other explorers faced when traveling the world by ship, simply referencing a man-made map they were given. This eventually led to the higher-level evaluation of mental maps, and how we create these in our minds regarding our environments, relationships, and beliefs. Great connections were made between language and imagery, particularly geographic maps and mental maps.
