I do agree, "the map" is a figment of the imagination. The map is a mental interpretation of the world but it is not the world. We all have different interpretations but become of those differences we never truly can understand each others point of view; thus, it is nearly impossible to know reality (the territory). Buddhism teaches that to know reality the ego must be removed. Only when you get rid of the ego (aka your sense of self) will you come to know reality as it truly is.
