Maps are a frequent focus of research and debate in a variety of areas. Analysis on basic cartographic components and symbols is frequently found in these discussions, but in a formal aspect. In this research, the line, as a key-component for representation of space itself, is analyzed in an epistemological aspect. After presenting the central arguments that revolve around the curved and the straight line, the impacts of modernity, and the interactions between lines and dots, we propose to address the role of the line and how it performs in two contrasting perspectives: formal mapmaking (traditional cartography) and subjective mapping (spontaneous spatial representation). The main question is: besides its uses in cartography, can we also use lines to represent the individual and its perception of space?
