This American Life

did a radio show on mapping in 1998. It talks about a mapmaker's different ways of mapping him neighborhood by showing the pumpkins during Halloween, the pools of light from lamp posts, all the graffiti in the streets, et cetera. But also mapping sound, smell, taste and touch.

Really fun to listen to if you cannot get enough of maps.
