Landon,

Much of what you are talking about is known as mental maps in Geography.  It really got started in 1976 when Peter Gould published his first work on the topic. There is also a fair bit of awareness of this in the urban design community.  The links will lead you various places, the last to "fear and loathing in LA".

Enjoy,

I’ve been shopping for a home with my wife the last few weeks. It got me thinking about how people perceive their city spatially.

 

I’ve posted a short article about this on my OpenJUMP blog. I’d like to hear comments on this topic from fellow geowankers.
