This does not entirely answer the idea of mapping, but it does have some
interesting information:

I think the following is a revealing quote:
"What do Hubel and Wiesel's feature detectors mean in 2009? The results of
their experiments are by now woven through the fabric of theoretical
neuroscience. The received wisdom about how the visual pathway in the brain
works is still grounded on these results: The brain does not store and
recall images. It stores and recognizes the abstracted features of images.
The nervous system is hardwired to perform the necessary abstractions."

In other words there is not a point to point map of the image in the back of
the eye on the brain.
