Planimetric Map


 The map shown above is known as a Planimetric map. These maps differ from the conventional topographic map because they deal specifically with the horizontal position of features, while the topograph indicates both horizontal and vertical positions. Planimetric maps are also known as "line maps", and show no relief features. The map above is the layout of a small piece of land in Charlotte, North Carolina.
