Well what's the point of making maps? We keep track of time so we know what happened where in time, and where we are heading in time.
For instance, we can say for instance that in 1860's the transcontinental railroad was built. And we can say for instance with paying for a house, that it will at it's current rate be completely payed for in 2006.
But I don't think of time like a map exactly, it'd be more of a measurement of length, or volume, as our conventional ways of expressing time were invented thousands and thousands of years ago.
Perhaps the future holds different ways of measuring time, perhaps someday there will be a "time map"
