Planimetric Map

Planimetric maps are two dimensional maps line maps. They show only the relative location of features on the map. Planimetric do not represent elevation as do topographic maps.

This road map of Florida is an example of a planimetric map. Counties are shown in different colors and features such as towns, rivers, lakes, lakes and roads are shown but there is no representation of relief or physical caracterisics other than boundries and size.
