I think you would like Franco Morretti's Graphs, Maps and Trees which is a very slim book whose chapter on Maps is precisely about cnceptualising space in literary novels (pre 1870, literary maps are circular, how far can you walk from the centre of your village), post 1870, how far can you travel in a line on the train).

Ooohh, that book sounds interesting.

Rats! One copy in nearby libraries, and it's checked out for the semester.
