Planimetric Map





http://www.tripleblaze.com/blog/2013/03/27/navigation-basics-types-of-maps/


A planimetric map, also known as a line map, displays only the horizontal positions for the features being represented.  This map is different from a topographic map as it does not show any relief features.  The map above is a good example of a planimetric map because we are only seeing the land in a two dimensional form with the elevation being excluded.
