I used to do this before I learned theory. But, even after a few semesters of studying music theory in college, I still draw visual maps of the songs I write when needed. To me, the music is an emotion and drawing it out helps me to keep that in mind. I will add some traditional notes and rythm where needed, but it's otherwise a very artistic representation of how the song should "feel". It comes out looking sort of like a mountain landscape with highs, lows, and all kinds of objects along the way.
