As abstract tools, maps can influence our understanding of reality. A map is an abstraction of a specific reality, created and motivated by practical considerations, yet capable of shaping how we perceive that reality. By mapping the surrounding space, we construct our own routes within it and strengthen the connection between place and experience. In this way, the landscape becomes part of our identity, while the map can be understood as a form of visualizing internal processes and experiences.
