If you're thinking of popular maps, you're probably referring to the New
Yorker cartoons that show the New Yorker's view of North America. If you're
interested in scholarly works, try Downs, Roger M. and David Stea's "Maps
in minds : reflections on cognitive mapping" New York : Harper & Row, c1977
or Gould, Peter R. and Rodney White's "Mental maps" Harmondsworth, Penguin,
1974.
