Planimetric Map


A planimetric map is a surface map(not a contour map) that displays two-dimensional information with no relief features, or landscape features, on the map. Often times planimetric maps are street maps or road atlases. The above map is a planimetric map of streets and roads in a certain city. It displays 2-D information and shows no information about the terrain of this area.
