There are any number of ways to go with this, beyond the quotations link
sent earlier. Some other places to look, in terms of book references:

_You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination_
by Katherine Harmon
Princeton Architectural Press
_
The Map as Art : Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography_
by Katharine Harmon , Gayle Clemans
Princeton Architectural Press
_
Maps: Finding Our Place in the World_
Edited by James R. Akerman and Robert W. Karrow Jr.
Univ. of Chicago Press (There are several chapters that might apply
here, but the one by Ricardo Padron on "Maps of Imaginary Worlds" might
fit your circumstances.)
_
The Map Book_
Edited by Peter Barber
