This is a mental map of Amsterdam drawn by a 41 year old homeless man and is part of an ongoing project in the field of psychogeography. For two weeks they collected mental maps of Amsterdam which were eventually put together to create a global mental map.
Its interesting the use of history or past events he adds to the map. It is clear, the places he feels comfortable and those he's not welcome. You are able to see a sense of relief in the park with various topographies but no sense of slope throughout the city.
