Planimetric Map



A planimetric map is one that only represents horizontal positions, so it is flat or two-dimensional. This type of map would contain no topographic information, or references to heights or other vertical positions. It is sometimes referred to as a line map. The example of this map shows the counties of Great Britain. Each county is shown as a color with simple line boundaries separated by lines. It contains no topographical information and is completely flat.
