Here are some links that may or may not help you develop a contemporary understanding of visual mappings...
(Some programs can allow you to add your own info... some you can understand the hierarchies and begin to format it on your own in illustrator (or something))

Also look at time magazines... they have the best diagrams... anyway... here is some eye candy...

Diagram types

Here is a list of diagram types, which I found useful for depicting the changes of 1987-2008.
..brainstorming diagram
..cause & effect diagram
..charts & graphs (to illustrate changes of quantity)
..logical network diagram
..timeline diagram
..mindmapping.
Google to see the logic behind each type but as far as I know the first half of diagrams above are also available in Visio (software in Vista) or click here to download SmartDraw.
